Coal Mine Access Road on Hold

Matanuska-Susitna Borough officials have put on hold a
bid to construct road access to a Sutton coal mining site.  This week,  the
Borough Assembly agreed to postpone a vote on a lease for the road to the
Wishbone Hill Coal Mine.  Public testimony regarding the road was mostly
negative at a hearing held on Tuesday.
