On Tuesday, July 12, a coalition of opponents to the proposed resumption of mining activities at the historic Idaho-Maryland mine presented petitions containing 5,500 signatures opposing the action to the Nevada County Board of Supervisors.
Meanwhile, "no-mine" opinion pieces in the local Union newspaper outnumber "pro-mine" pieces by 160 to 8 and 1,500 online comments accompanied the petitions delivered to the Supervisors.
