Here's a message from Robert Ardovino who is leading the charge to save the Asarco stacks:

Dear Colleagues,

The time has come to directly challenge the $14M number tossed out very early on in this fight for Historic Preservation. Eight months have gone by and Save the Stacks has put together a Board of Directors, formed a 501-c3 and has been working hard behind the scenes in order to keep this future monument standing.   

StS has contracted with a national chimney inspecting firm, Industrial Access to prove that the stacks are structurally sound and will stand. Early indication by three separate Firms on the ground under the stacks has left us very optimistic about the  integrity of the stacks.   At this stage we need to raise funds to pay for the $80k Inspection and the Engineering report.

To dat we have commitment for just over half of that amount.  

Time is running out, we NEED your help this week. Mr. Puga has set a demo deadline of November 2012.
