Council continues concerns with uranium study funding<\/a><\/p>\nEloise Nenon (of the Southside Confused<\/del> Concerned Citizens) drops this steamer into the story…<\/p>\n\u201cI seriously doubt it,\u201d said Eloise Nenon, founding member of Southside Concerned Citizens, when asked if she believes the study would be objective.
\nThe proposed study, Nenon said, \u201cignores the people, the communities, the traditions and our history. This is a very historic state.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Hello, Eloise? Are you listening? This is a study about whether the uranium can be mined safely. It should have nothing to do with the people, the communities, the traditions NOR the history. It’s going to say if technology and science have evolved enough to get the uranium out safely. That’s all. No more, no less.<\/p>\n
Of course, this is the same Eloise Nenon who is an expert at “poisoning the well” in her own way. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou can do research to prove almost anything, if you want to,\u201d Nenon said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
