Hearing tonite...
I don't really see what the big deal is. So some mining companies want to dig a couple more holes in the ground. Big deal.
For over 100 years mining has been going on in Minnesota. No problems
at all. People get their pay-checks and what pensions the mining
companies decide to honor. There is a cancer cluster but it could be
worse.
The mining companies
bribe the politicians so they can abscond with the profits leaving
behind massive poverty, pits and pollution.
It is called: Appalachia North... or, the Iron Range.
This has worked out good for everyone; why change things now?
Please, people... just learn to sit quietly, listen and suck in the
lies from the mining companies and the politicians--- be nice! Minnesota
Nice.
Be civil.
Being civil means holding your hat in your hands and keeping your mouth shut.
Come on, really. Listen to what the head of the Minnesota DNR has to
say... he just wants Ducks Unlimited to end up with a new duck pond.
Come out to the Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center (DECC) and tell the DNR what you think about PolyMet's mine plan.
Every time you hear the words "jobs, jobs, jobs" applaud loudly with the people the Chamber of Commerce is busing in.
Don't ask any questions about what happened to the pensions of workers
employed by LTV or National Steel... this is past history; let bygones
be bygones. Don't use the word "swindle" in relation to pensions because
this would be a violation of ethical and civil conduct on the part of
citizens towards mining company bribed politicians and public servants.
Leave babies at home; no crying or public breast-feeding allowed.
5:00 p.m. - open house
6:45 - 10:00 p.m. formal presentation and public comment period
The DNR has reserved the City Side Convention Center in its entirety
for the public hearing. The Open House will be held in a number of
spaces, and the public meeting will be held in the Lake Superior
Ballroom on the 2nd floor.
Room 202 in the Harbor Side
Convention Center is reserved by a number of groups to provide a space
for conversation, coffee and to be a home base. Room 202 is about a 5
minute walk from the Lake Superior Ballroom on the Skywalk. You can find
a map of the DECC at http://www.decc.org/cms/files/skywalk-3rdfloor.pdf
