He did not want to lose the opportunity to be able to look at the rules <br />carefully, with input from all avenues. <br />Attorney Collins reassured the Commissioners that everyone was invited to come to <br />the table, including the developers of mines, who have experts that could contribute to the <br />conversation. <br />January 7, 2008 8 <br />
