Arizona’s GOP Senators Play Dirty, Sell Apache Holy Site To Foreign Mining Company

There's gold in them thar hills!

That is very close to the Superstition Mountains and The Lost Dutchman's Mine.

People are very very protective of that area. This will not end well.

From the linked article:

"Sens. McCain and Flake did what Republican senators do best: they made a dirty end-run around the opposition. In December, they slipped a provision putting Oak Flat up for sale into the hundreds of pages of legislation that made up the Defense Authorization Act, a law funding the military whose passage was considered crucial. As a last-minute rider, the deal escaped public scrutiny — a common maneuver amongst corrupt politicians."

This is flat out criminal. I've often wondered why these "provisions" that have nothing to do with the original bill are allowed to be shoved in minutes before a vote.

But, of course, Congress isn't going to police themselves when there are billions to be made.

God Damn Treasonous Fuckers!
