To further my response -

The iron would have been extracted via water and magnets - no chemicals whatsoever..

This company and the GOP compromised, bent over backwards to make this happen - to the tune of 22 or so ammendments to the bill - the Dems never negotiated in good faith and never had any intention of letting this pass..

It’s a real shame, but I think it’s going to backfire on them. Walker will win recall and in November we’ll win back at least 2 of the senate seats...

What kind of mining are they talking about?

Gogebic Taconite wanted to create a $1.5 billion open pit taconite iron mining operation in northern Wisconsin.

“While the Pacific Northwest gets all the press concerning lib/sems destroying the logging industry, The Adirondacks of northern NY are filled with towns that barely subsist now thanks to what lib environmentalism and Dem politics did to the logging industry there.”

Off-topic a bit, but until the Adirondack Park is dissolved, and local counties upstate once again can control their futures, upstate NY will continue to stagnate and decline....

In some cases, “forever wild” is the equivalent of “forever depressed”....

OK, I’ll use that as a tagline the rest of the month.
Everybody else is free to use it too:)

Thanks for that additional info. I look for an Obamaphotop with this in the near future.

Again, who do we blame? The politicians? Hell no. Because politicians behave like all politicians. They wet their finger, stick it up in the air, and whichever the wind is blowing that will guarantee their re-elctions, that’s where they will vote. All these Wisconsin voters have to do is look in the mirror. They voted for these politicians. There has to be a lesson here somewhere? Oh yeah, ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES. You voters have to be more careful on who you vote for. Enough said
