WALKER EMAIL DATES TO GTAC'S BEGINNINGS IN IRON COUNTY:

[hue]

Tuesday, October 5, 2010. The planned GTAC mine is still just a twinkle in the eye of a few insiders. The Iron County Board Chair, a few board members perhaps, and some local development folks are talking about it. Chris Cline has already flattered a few locals with his presence. Lawyers are drafting a lease agreement, which is by now certainly already a handshake agreement, that will basically give GTAC 3000+ acres of county forest lands so that they have a place to pile their tailings. GTAC's lawyers are also already drafting the mining bill to be introduced in a few months, despite the fact they would later promise the Chippewa that they were intending to work under the existing laws.

A motion described as a "Motion in Support of Mining in Iron County" is being contemplated -- a motion which is actually a motion to remove the said 3000 acres from the county forest, and which will be passed the following month, with no publicity or fanfare, and done so discreetly and quietly that a year or two later none of the county board members even realizes it was passed. The result was a resolution authorizing withdrawal of the county land from the county forest, even though there has been no public release of, discussion of, or even general knowledge of the soon-to-be-signed lease between Iron County and GTAC. In other words, the resolution is in furtherance of the terms of a lease which is not even known about yet. It certainly is not known about by most of the people voting for the resolution. They think they are passing a generic motion in support of mining. That's what the meeting's agenda says. The lease does not come up until the following January, after the elections and swearing in ceremonies.

The only people, apparently, who really know what's going on at this point are a few insiders in Iron County, a few republican legislators, GTAC's billionaire owner Chris Cline, Cline Resources President John Dickinson, and SCOTT WALKER.

The above snapshot of email records provided last week show that Scott Walker had a scheduled phone call to Chris Cline and Cline Resources President John Dickinson during the lunch hour that day in October. What could Scott Walker and the folks at Cline Resources possibly have to discuss?

1. I'm not sure of everything they discussed, but one thing on Squatty's agenda was money.

2. Cline was drooling over the Penokee Hills hence they rewrote WI DNR laws 1st thing!

4. And the secret--dismanteling of collective bargaining was at this same time--the

dropping of Walker bomb followed in a few short months. No forewarning as to the magnitude of the bomb.

3. So I wonder if the mine area is

in the newest public land sell-off just approved? The article said they were lands not visited or used.

be the public image for them. Wanker is sooo disposable for them. They don't give a $h!# if Wanker does their jail time for them. (Not that I'd feel bad if Wanker actually went to jail--he def should--for a looong time.) But his controllers should go as well!
They have turned WI into a money laundering state for the US. for their political corruptions!!

Edited to add: In essence Wanker is giving WI to the 1%; the Kochs, Chris Cline, Diane Hendrick etc.
