Dear Ken Blodgett, I am very concerning about transporting coal along the Puget sound area that will be headed for China. Few jobs will be created, the US will get little benefit by digging up and shipping this dirty energy to China and yet the risks are great including; increased GHG emissions that affect the US as China continues to burn more dirty coal, impacts on property values, affect on wildlife and wildlife habitat, noise and traffic issues,and health risks including asthma as trains leave coal dust along their path. I think we can do better. I still have hope a good decision can be made by not allowing The Tongue River Railroad transport coal from Montana across our beautiful lands for use in China. Sincerely Karen Loida
