ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The showdown over the proposed pebble mine in Western Alaska is heating up. Tomorrow voters will decide on an initiative aimed at blocking the mine, but the results will not be tallied for a couple weeks.
The Save our Salmon initiative would prohibit projects that would disrupt salmon spawning grounds.
