CEMEX blast mine pit approved by Fresno County

Well, I'm disappointed. I'm disappointed by the outcome of the board's decision today. You know, based on the initial discussion that I was hearing, I really thought it was going to go a different way. And I really thought Supervisor Bredefeld was going to stand up for, you know, the issues related to city roads and the issues that are really directly impacting his constituents. So I was a bit surprised by the outcome. Disappointed. I think the initial discussion I thought they might say and just based on Supervisor Pacheco's comments you know he voiced the fact that he's just not comfortable with blasting and drilling and so if somebody had made a motion that approved the project if they eliminated blasting and drilling then it would be an entirely different conversation but unfortunately they're going to they approved blasting and drilling It's a totally new and different type of mining than we've seen on the river and has very significant impacts. If we decide to do that, that's a decision of our board of directors. And so it's a discussion that we'll have, but it's not my decision to make. It depends on other people. And I'm sure we'll be talking to partner organizations as well and kind of see what people are thinking about.
