Apache Stronghold forces U.S. government retreat
APACHE STRONGHOLD MAKES U.S. GOVERNMENT RETREAT CAUSING 9th CIRCUIT DENIAL OF EMERGENCY INJUNCTION
CASE STILL PROCEEDS ON EXPEDITED BASIS

OAK FLAT, AZ This afternoon [March 5] the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals denied Apache Stronghold’s appeal of U.S. District Court Judge Steven Logan’s Feb. 12, 2021, ruling. The Appellate Court refused to grant Apache Stronghold’s request on a 2-1 vote because of the Forest Service’s last-minute March 1, 2021, withdrawal of the Final Environmental Impact Statement. Prior to this withdrawal, the giveaway of Oak Flat would have happened by March 11, 2021. The Appellate Court fell for this Forest Service ploy although Appellate Judge Bumatay observed, “The Supreme Court recently suggested we do not acquiesce to such tactics.”

For Maricopans who share a grand vision for their growing city, Thursdayâs city planning session was like Christmas, a birthday and Mardi Gras rolled into one.
City Manager Rick Horst laid out an ambitious vision for the city, with numerous projects floated to increase livability for residents and propel efforts to become a destination city. Projects range from near-term to long-term â some would likely be decades down the road â and are as varied as additional street lamps and cleanup of blighted sections to a multi-use stadium at Copper Sky and the potential for a light rail line connecting Maricopa with the Valley.
