It is so nice to see that somethings never change. Anyone with an ounce of sense would know that if a new mining project such as Twin Metals may one day the price of residential property would skyrocket overnight. Where exactly do you and Reid think the construction and trades workers are going to live during the construction phase. How about where are the actual miners going to go when production starts. They all will be looking for homes to bring their families to. You and the elite preservationists are doing more to scare people away from here than any potential mining every will. Your constant doom & gloom chicken little syndrome will continue to drive them away.

We on the pro mining side didn't draw the line between mining and tourism. The elite preservationists did by starting this whole process with Becky writing a letter requesting a PEIS. The funny thing is that she repeatedly denied doing so until her letter became public knowledge. There is a policy and procedure for new mines, PolyMet is currently 13 years into the process. It has been the longest and most through process in Minnesota history. We think that process will prevail in the end for Twin Metals. They need to have the chance to try. If they can't prove they can do it so be it, just don't cut them off before it even has a chance.

One last thing before I am done, not really sure I would be holding Reid Carron up as an example of anything right now after what he said in the NYT.
