Arizona Bureau of Mines officials dispute some fault data but agree federal authorities are fully informed on the site’s potential.

Candidate raps county bonds for big firms
Republican Henry Bobbe, candidate for the County Board of Supervisors from District 2, accuses the County Industrial Development Authority of unfairly aiding large corporations with tax-free bonds. He cites National Can Co and cites concern for small existing businesses while urging bonds be reserved for municipal needs. He also notes past opposition to McDonald’s use of bonds and argues tax-free bonds should back streets, schools, and sewers rather than private expansion.
