I did not make any such claim that Ricketts is unaware of the project. I will make the claim that it is unprofessional of the Governor to address one individual in the heading of a letter and a completely different individual in the body and closing.

The proper etiquette would have been to address MG Jackson throughout the letter with a CC to the President. This oversight makes me question the level of involvement that Ricketts had in this request, which all brings me back to my original question. Should we be concerned about the 408 permit, or was this a cheap publicity stunt? There are better ways for the State of Nebraska to build publicity for the project than crafting an unnecessary letter to the USACE and further tying up their resources.

A well written open letter directly to Trump from any state governor regarding a project that has great potential to strengthen the US steel industry would be much more beneficial than this one.
