I-186 hurts Montana taxpayers
There’s an old saying that, “If it can’t be grown or raised, it must be mined.” And in Montana — where mining is among our largest economic drivers and our state motto is oro y plata (gold and silver) — mining plays a critical role in sustaining communities and families across Montana.
Initiative 186, the misleading initiative that claims to promote “responsible” mining, is backed by a coalition of out-of-state environmental groups, and if successful in November, would stop future mines.
