Thank you Marshall for this and all the other fine articles you have written on the subject. My father had a saying, "figures don't lie but liers figure. I think that is appropriate for this instance. How many jobs will be lost in the tourism industry in northeastern Minnesota if the Boundary Waters are damaged as compared to the relatively few jobs created by the PolyMet mine? We are on Lake Vermilion and I recently drove through Ely and down to the north shore. It sickens me to think of the beauty of the area being destroyed by a huge open pit mining project and the distinct possibility of hundreds of years worth of damage to the waters in the area. Thanks again for your fine work.
