Governor Who Likes Bad Actors & Toxic Mines

https://www.counterpunch.org/2023/08/11/the-governor-who-likes-bad-actors-and-toxic-mines

* Greg Gianforte ignores court order, Montana Constitution, state’s “bad actor” law intended to prevent mining executives who have left environmental damages behind f. receiving new mining permits

* benefits CEO Phillip C. Baker, Pegasus Gold Corp

* Montana mines using open-pit cyanide heap-leach process

Born in Halifax, this part doubly saddens me! 😥 🤬

Brigus Gold: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigus_Gold

* was Canadian mining company based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

* mid-1990s Brigus Gold formed when Pegasus Gold declared bankruptcy, transferred profitable assets to Apollo Gold

* Pegasus Gold wanted to avoid paying for the clean-up of its Montana Zortman-Landusky mine
