I don't ignore anyone's concerns . I read and consider everything people have to say .  I'm a big fan of Parnell because he's a good guy. Just like I was a fan of Hammond and Steven's . I've got signed photos of me with two of them and have talked to all three.   Concerning Pebble here's how I see it : I wouldn't trade fishing for mining. To me there is zero doubt we can have both. I'm 100 percent confident Pebble can be developed using today's standards to the point there is no risk to fishing.  My beef is when anti-Pebbles biggest supporter is caught funneling money on the down low to stop the project , and is buying local support to keep that region his own playground.  When one looks at a map it's clear no leak would reach Bristol Bay .  That region of Alaska needs jobs---jobs that Pebble will provide.   IF Pebble's design won't pass the countless permitting tests , I'm fine with it not being built.  When locals lie and say if it's built they'll die , I say to heck with them.
