Dear Gillette, On Sept. 16, I spoke before the Campbell County commissioners and placed what I had learned about BWXT’s proposed nuclear fuel project into the public record. I live in Natrona County, but this is not only a Campbell County issue. It is a Wyoming issue. I went there because people deserve the information necessary to protect their own communities and make informed decisions about what is being built in this state. After months of reviewing public records, regulatory documents, funding, transportation concerns, emergency planning, environmental issues, and BWXT’s operational history, I have more questions than answers. What concerns me most is the assumption that political and economic development support equals public support. It does not. Support from elected officials, landowners, contractors, or businesses that may benefit from a project is not the same as consent from Wyoming residents. If BWXT and public officials believe Wyoming wants this project, show us the evidence. Show us the polling, agreements, incentives, infrastructure commitments, taxpayer obligations, transportation plans, emergency planning, waste management, water use, monitoring requirements and long-term responsibilities. These are not radical questions. They are basic questions of accountability. I do not claim to speak for every Wyoming resident. I speak for myself, and I believe people deserve the full story before projects involving nuclear materials, public money, and long-term consequences are treated as inevitable. BWXT does not have my consent. Wyoming is our home. These are our roads, our water, our communities, and our future. That is why I went to Campbell County on Sept. 16. That is why I put the information on the record. And that is why I will keep asking questions. Samantha Fowler, Casper </div></body>
