Well known mine company shill, Eric Twelker, has penned a laughably biased editorial piece for JuneauEmpire.com voicing his opposition to Ballot Measure 4 calling it an ‘error-filled’ and ‘ambiguous’ law – nothing supporters of the Ballot Measure haven’t heard before.
What is interesting, however, is just how slanted Twelker’s perspective is. Perhaps it has something to do with his 35 years working as a lawyer for the mining industry. Whether it be defending big oil after the Exxon Valdez spill in attempt to unjustly relieve that company from its cleanup duties, or siding with mining companies against the protection of wilderness land in Colorado, Twelker never fails to remain unimpressive.
Readers of JuneauEmpire.com would to well to take Mr. Twelker’s opinion with a big grain of salt – or, as the case may be, a nugget of Bristol Bay gold.
