No public meetings= no transperancy= no public involvement

Roanoke River Basin

RRBA reps attended yesterday's meeting where the governor's uranium work group briefed the Coal and Energy Commission on its plan to develop uranium mining regulations. The whole process is a huge disappointe\ment. There will be no public meetings where the public will be able to raise concerns. Everything will be rushed through to get the legislation ready for 2013. Moreover, the UWG will be using the VUI generated data about the site. And we can imagine how accurate those data would be, right? RADIATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION
