Sandpoint Coal Hard Truth Forum

Thursday, March 1st 6:30-8:30pm

Little Panida Theater, Sandpoint, ID

A coal train passes over Lake Pend Oreille on the Long Bridge summer 2011 while people recreate.

What if every day over 40 more, 1.5 mile long trains full of coal came through our community, halting emergency response, spewing diesel particulates and coal dust, shaking our homes, threatening our health and safety? This is very possible, as coal companies are looking to make it a reality. Our community would not benefit one bit if this proposed project went through. There would be no new jobs, no revenues, nothing!
This public forum will bring local officials and experts together to educate our community about this important issue.
