Why does the agency claim they cannot consider the "cumulative <br />effects?" The answer is simple. . .if they honestly considered It, they would have to deny <br />some permits. Denying even a single permit is is not consistent with the political <br />"pressure" that Is put on them. How long before political "pressure" will be put on your <br />"investigation" and the agency conducting it? James E. Preston <br />P. O.

Obviously, I think that the CWCB has <br />significantly different resources and statutory authority than the MLRB or I wouldn't <br />have gone to the effort to bring them down. Further, ifI was looking to whitewash <br />anything, and given that there is no other effort really underway other than a law suit, <br />why on earth would I spend so damn much time and effort when doing nothing would <br />have served a similar purpose. <br /> <br />I am not in this office to posture or do things simply to get my name in the paper. I <br />responded honestly and forthrightly to several constituent concerns and thought this to <br />be the best "first step" in assessing the cumulative impacts of the multiple pits such <br />impacts not having been adequately assessed previously, at least by the state or federal <br />government. My motive is pure. I guess I should have known that someone would <br />think an ulterior motive simply because I took the initiative. <br /> <br />I hope I satisfied your concern over my motives and anticipated outcomes, <br /> <br />Mark <br /> <br />"James E.

Is this Just <br />going to be another "white wash" or "cover-up" or is this investigation of <br />yours going to have some integrity? James E.
