| Dear Governor Thompson:
Thank you for taking the time to see me last week. I appreciate our dialog and interest you are taking in our project. As discussed, inasmuch as we plan to be successful in the permit stage, the next issue for us will be our ability to site a plant. Given your familiarity with the area we are looking at and the challenges in order for us to meet our own timeline, it will be important for us to have your public support. I realize that this involves investing some political capital. I will understand if you can't do this; just let me know so I can make alternative plans. I recognize that our project although innocent looking has been contentious, so I am willing to take a lead on our next steps. Again, it was very nice meeting you. I look forward to seeing you again-hopefully with success behind us. Best regards,
|
