Stop the Haines Assembly from hiring a mine lobbyist
Please add your name to this letter to the Haines Borough Assembly, urging them to reconsider their vote and not retain Holland and Hart LLP at their next meeting on Tuesday, August 26th.
The Haines Borough Assembly recently voted to retain Washington, D.C.-based Holland and Hart LLP for federal lobbying services. This is alarming because Holland and Hart is known for supporting large-scale extractive industries, such as mining. Their proposal focuses explicitly on promoting infrastructure and access for resource development in Haines, while altogether omitting support for vital existing economic sectors such as commercial fishing and the visitor industry.
