SAME OLD, SAME OLD

"........ experts with a combined 700 years of experience analyzed plans for a proposed open-pit quarry and a study of the project dispels opponents' falsehoods, a representative of the quarry's developer said......
.....the quarry would be environmentally friendly.....
.....the quarry won't be seen, heard or felt as it supports high-paying jobs, generates millions of tax dollars and improves air quality,,,,,
......monitors at various distances from the blast showed noise from the explosion did not exceed 65 decibels -- the sound level of a normal conversation......
Officials .....say the ...mine will produce 99 high-paying jobs and twice that number at outside firms that offer support to the mining operation...."


Sound familar?

It is.

But if you thought it was about Seth Klarman, aka Baupost, aka Highlands quarry, well you would be wrong.

These comments are straight from the PR person's mouth of a company in california that wants to blow the top off a mountain, in a native reserve, to mine granite.

It is called the Temecula quarry.

Here is a link to the article and be sure to read the comments:http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-quarry-20110815,0,608025.story

Nice to know, however the quarry proponents are all singing from the same hymn book.
