Stephanie Jacobson is whistling in the dark. Economic studies and responses to scientific poll inquiries are not "threats." They are factual or as close to factual as it's possible to get in context. The regular poverty and high unemployment in mining towns are facts. The cry for help from the Iron Range whenever the industry hits a bump is as predictable as sunrise. That mining is a tiny part of the Arrowhead economy--less than three jobs out of a hundred, and anyone with knowledge of the industry knows it will continue to fall--is a fact. No intelligent copper miner will be buying a house in Ely because s/he won't want to be stuck with it when the bust comes.
