Comment EI-19648

Received or sent (printed as 1/9/2013)

Based on recent news reports I am concerned that the Otter Creek coal intended for export is being acquired at a discount to fair market prices. Until a fair price is paid for the natural resource being extracted, the construction of the Tongue River railroad should be postponed.
