Print article A federal appeals court has sided with conservation and Indigenous groups and halted winter work at a major ConocoPhillips oil project on Alaska’s North Slope. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Saturday issued the six-page decision, by 9th Circuit Judges William Canby and Michelle Friedland, on Saturday. The decision will halt on-the-ground work at Willow for the year, said Natalie Lowman, a spokeswoman with ConocoPhillips, in an email Sunday. Winter activity at developing projects on Alaska’s North Slope is supported by ice roads that melt in the spring, sharply reducing on-the-ground activity for all but a handful of months. The project, among the most promising North Slope prospects, was expected to employ about 120 people this year.
I was dismayed to read that Commissioner Andy Kostielney and county economic developmentâs Bill Schalliolâs march to industrialize western St. Joseph County rolls merrily along.
We the people out this way have been waiting for our opportunity to present to our county officials alternative views of what the future that we would like to be working toward could look like.
It appears we could be waiting awhile.
During his campaign for his current position, Commissioner Derek Dieter spoke of understanding how poorly the Indiana Enterprise Center affair has been run thus far â and promised he would go to work to clear the air. Perhaps he could convince Kostielney to speak with our town officials whom he has effectively silenced thus far?
