Abandon work at Cascade Point

I appreciate Richard J. Peterson's Nov. 6 letter about the proposed Cascade Point Ferry Terminal; it is comprehensive and compelling in its logic and its concern for human and natural resources.

Perhaps an invisible bargain has been struck between the Dunleavy administration and the nearby nascent mining interests in a way that emulates the behavior of the recently-discredited Trump administration, which is now subject to critical investigation. The people of Southeast Alaska and their representatives should demand immediate abandonment of any work at the proposed site, suffering the modest public cost of excavation contractor equipment mobilization, admitting a judgment error, before serious damage is done to the land and to reputations.
