How can Congress improve #whistleblower protections & strengthen their outlets of relief?
Find out from this recap of our #POGOchat this past March that featured experts from POGO, @Public_Citizen and @GovAcctProj: https://t.co/tRtutYAh8Z
@POGOBlog Gov't require stricter ethics rules. @Interior Secretary Bernhardt is only 1 of many compromised high ranking officials - appointees must have the best interest of the agency they lead in mind, not the best interests of the industries that seek to destroy #publiclands. #POGOChat
We have reached the end of our #POGOchat!
Thank you all for following & participating in this very informative discussion on how the mining industry is influencing government decisions to open mining on #PublicLands.
@POGOBlog Q5. Mining projects on #publiclands are destructive to the #environment. Mining waste gets into water supply impacting ecological and human health. Large areas of habitat are destroyed to access minerals. Mining infrastructure is expansive and destructive. #POGOChat
@POGOBlog Q6: With several of the new critical minerals being ‘hardrock’ minerals, companies are not required to pay royalties to the U.S. government, thus ensuring the destruction of large swaths of #publiclands with no benefit to American taxpayers. #POGOChat
@POGOBlog A6. Mining companies – often foreign-owned – mine for hardrock minerals on #publiclands w/o paying a dime to US taxpayers. The admin’s push to open more public lands to mining under the guise of national security exacerbates this taxpayer rip-off https://t.co/wY668MWTSb #POGOchat
@POGOBlog Additionally, if reasonable environmental checks on mining are eliminated or reduced, contamination risks could increase and damage done to waterways, air streams...etc.
#POGOchat #PublicLands
@POGOBlog A6: Under ancient mining laws, companies that mine underground or "hardrock" minerals on public lands, do not have to pay fair royalties to the gov, cheating taxpayers out of millions.
#POGOchat #PublicLands
@POGOBlog The #GrandCanyon & areas that had been protected by the Bears Ears National Monument designation are at risk of development. #BearsEars has been reduced by 85 percent by President Trump, and the area is now more vulnerable for exploitation by uranium mining companies. #POGOchat
