Palin’s Hand Seen in Battle Over Mine in Alaska

The New York Times continues to explore the Sarah Palin Pebble Mine connection.

“I am a commercial fisherman; my daughter’s name is Bristol,” said
Ms. Palin, then a candidate for governor. “I could not support a
project that risks one resource that we know is a given, and that is
the world’s richest spawning grounds, over another resource.”

Many here took her words to heart. But as governor, Ms. Palin has
helped ease the way for a proposed copper and gold mine of near-mythic
proportions at the headwaters of Bristol Bay, the world’s greatest
spawning ground for wild salmon.
