For what it's worth, Foothill Cities has noted that Vulcan Materials Co., the Alabama-based aggregate mining company that wants to mine on 500-plus acres in Northeast Claremont, has been named one of the most admired building materials companies in America by Fortune.
Fortune gave Vulcan a top score for "social responsibility." So, it's possible that in court arguments and in arguments before the state's Mining and Geology Board, Vulcan might have some ready-made answers to Claremont's charges that the Vulcan proposal is environmentally irresponsible.
Claremonters Against Strip Mining (CASM) may be sweating a bit.

The Los Angeles Times today had a Column One article on blogging. Power to the people!
A behind-the-scenes look at the news of Claremont, CA. We focus on city hall, city staff, and the so-called "Claremont 400" or "Preserve Claremonters" or "Claremonsters", those goofy, too-serious, power types that run most of the town's service organizations, charities, and city commissions. Claremont is indeed a unique place, and we'll try to bring a flavor of that absurd "uniqueness" to the outside world, as well as spotlighting some of the finer things about our city and region.
