This is an emotional, complex issue. We are all trying to figure out the best way forward- one that is intelligent and fair to all. Please stop using bullying tactics, such as calling Southern Minnesota- Twin City residents names and accusing those peoples as a whole of being stupid environmentalists. I am a citizen of Minnesota, living both in Ely and Minneapolis. I am a tax payer with most of my wealth committed to my home in Ely. I depend upon the "up north way of life" as I define it for myself, my children and beyond. Have any of you considered the devastating affects a damaged landscape to those who make their living in the tourist industry? How about those of us who work hard, and then come to Northern Minnesota to spend our earnings? An environmental disaster could wipe out all that I have worked for my whole life. See? There are other perspectives here. For many many years I have heard terrible things like -" those 612ers.... " and so on.. In negative ways. Well, this 612er has given hundreds of thousands of dollars "to the area and it's way of life." Please stop using negative buzz words and statements. We are all trying to understand the best use for our land- that includes creating jobs that are safe, sustainable and smart. Again, please respect all opinions and refrain from negative talk. This is not helpful in any way.
