Over at the local blog "Coal Stop," Sandy Robson has done an effective take down of the Lynden Tribune for running an anti-Lummi Nation opinion piece.  Robson does her usual deep research and posts it all for her readers.  The Lynden Tribune ran a article by the leaders of Northwest Jobs Alliance, a front group for the corporate interests of Cherry Point's proposed coal terminal.  With Lummi Nation trying to prevent the total destruction of their fishing rights by the proposed mega coal terminal, the Lynden Tribune allowed a hatchet-job opinion piece to grace their newspaper pages.  In truth, it is a racist hit piece on our neighbors, the Lummi.  Robson does the dissection very nicely. 

Like most of her articles, Robson's article is long and well referenced.  She does not write for those looking for a quick take on issues but rather for those who want to know all the relevant information.  We have kept a link to her website at the top of our links column since she opened the site about a year ago.  I tip my hat to her fine research and comprehensive writing.  Her website is another valuable source of local news, information, and opinion.

Note:  no link to Lynden site as they put the article behind a firewall.
