The Pebble Blog : No date yet for APOC hearing

The Pebble Blog

The gigantic Pebble copper and gold prospect in Southwest Alaska is one of the touchiest topics in Alaska today.

In this blog, I'll track news that is significant or interesting about the Pebble project. I'll also try to generate discussion and information sharing about some of the claims and counterclaims about the project, and mining in general.

Please keep your comments courteous and on topic. If you violate the ADN comment policy, your posts will be deleted.

About Elizabeth Bluemink ebluemink@adn.com

I've been writing about mining in Alaska since 2004 and without a doubt, it is one of the most interesting topics that I cover at the Daily News. I've been a newspaper reporter for the past 10 years. In the Deep South, I specialized in reporting about environmental conflicts and pollution cleanups. For two years, I covered commercial fishing, mining and logging in Southeast Alaska. In my current job as a Daily News business reporter, I write about mining, tourism, Native corporations and other businesses.

No date yet for APOC hearing

Last week, I wrote a blog post ID'ing June 15-17 as the tentative dates for APOC to hold a hearing on the complaint alleging election law violations filed by Pebble and the Resource Development Council against Bob Gillam, Alaskans for Clean Water et al.

All parties involved have agreed to cancel the hearing and hold it on a later date, the APOC executive director told me this week. Apparently, some new complaints are being consolidated into this one, and no new date has been set yet. I haven't seen those new complaints yet, but I've heard one is coming quite soon.

I wrote a story about Gillam's testimony and other documents submitted during APOC's investigation for today's paper. In case you didn't already, you can read it here. The story was less about whether Gillam was guilty of anything and more about the extent of his involvement in the anti-Pebble campaign. That is something that has been somewhat obscure to those of us watching that campaign from the outside.

So far, I've gotten a few reactions to the story ranging from "good article" to "puff piece." In the near future, I will also need to report on larger issues that go well beyond Gillam and this particular APOC investigation, so stay tuned.
