I'll start on this one! As a business owner and miner from Ely I will tell you the absolute truth concerning my business "Ledger":

Summer = Good

Winter = Bad

Now, take those year round residents making an average of $18k/year (from an earlier report) and replacing them with a thousand workers making $80k/year. They will be building homes on the lakes and areas that you mentioned above. There is just no way a seasonal worker can do this, at least not out by a lake. I also do not believe the numbers of those leaving with their tales between their legs will be one tenth the number of new residents moving into the area with good paying jobs. I don't think we need two years to figure this out. This is just another delay tactic to get the lawyers lined up to delay it even further in the future.
