The only jobs Dems like are government ones.

The company that was hoping to build that mine now says it's giving up all plans for Wisconsin.

Way to go Wisconsin Democrat Party. Way to go.

The “compromises” the democrats want are poison pills and no mining company would come here if they passed them. It would make mining MORE DIFFICULT than ever before if they pass.

The “compromises” are:

1. A year and a half wait review/contest period.

2. Expanded litigation ability for just about any group.

3. Company pays 25 million dollars up front in taxes before anything is taken out of the mine.

Public Sector unions are only using the private sector ones as their cannon fodder.

Is this story some sort of joke that the media is trying to play on their viewers/reader/listeners?

The Pubbies can re-submit the bill for the next session. They can even modify it a bit to quell the environmental concerns. Once that is done the Pubbies have to make sure to publicize it when it comes up for a vote emphasizing that it will increase employment AND protect the environment.

And if the Dems vote it down again the Pubbies must take the initiative to let Wisconsinites know it.

If the Pubbies submit bill after bill that encourages private sector employment that they know will get shot down over and over again by Dems it’ll be perfect ammunition to help turn over seats to the Pubbies in next election.

My nephew works for a company that does the study of environmental impact of mining in northern Wisconsin. He claims that for several decades the studies have shown that the impact of mining was not a negative one. The companies have promised to restore lands, etc. One company even promised to set up a water purification plant so that the ground water would actually be purer than what it had been prior to the mine. But the environmentalists rejected that because “the water was supposed to be exactly the way it was” before the mining; in other words purer water was a bad thing to these environmentalist wackos. They would rather live with dirty water.

Go figure. These folks are never going to compromise on anything because they are irrational.
