Minerals Coverage
Update
As
reported in a recent
Breaking News,
TDI held a Minerals Coverage Hearing on July 15. At the conclusion of the
hearing, TDI
Commissioner Mike Geeslin
placed the hearing into recess for at least 60 days and asked that all
interested parties work together in the interim to seek any possible
solutions to the issue.
In response to the
Commissioner's request, TLTA held a stakeholder's
meeting on August 6 and will continue our dialogue with all
interested parties. The
TLTA
staff felt very positive about what the group was able to accomplish by
having a thorough discussion of all sides of the issue. The TLTA Minerals
Task Force reconvened this week to review the feedback from stakeholders at
the meeting and to work on ways to resolve those concerns. They will
continue their work with the goal of making a recommendation back to the
TLTA Board of Directors in the very near future.
