They pay now, or we pay later

Clean water is possible with responsible mining.

Responsible mining costs the mining companies more money.

Montanans must ask why these companies will spend millions of dollars to defeat legislation ensuring the purity of our rivers when it makes more sense to invest that money in the mining process to maintain our clean water during the extraction of our treasures?

Taking those extra measures to mine responsibly also creates jobs; as does reclamation. The difference is who pays for it; the companies who profit in the first instance, or the Montana taxpayers who are stuck with cleaning up after those profiteers?

Please vote Yes! On I86!
