Stephanie Jacobson, I can see that you are having trouble following the narrative. PolyMet is a poisonous and destructive project that should not go forward, but it's not what creates the existential threat to Ely. As for MM/Chilean Miners, she/he/they/it either do/does not actually read, or do/does not comprehend, or deliberately misrepresent(s), what I write. The ability to willfully ignore a sentence like "Logging properly done is a sustainable industry that's a huge asset to Northeastern Minnesota" is truly remarkable. It's also truly remarkable to pretend that the people who sustain Ely don't exist; to ignore the hundreds of millions of dollars worth of property on the South Kawishiwi and Birch Lake--many of which represent a large portion of the life savings of their owners--that would have their value wiped out; to completely disregard the people who have built businesses that thrive because of a healthy National Forest or that work in the outdoor industry and love it and could care less about getting a mining job. They're not part of your tribe, so you don't care.
