Thank you, Mr. Dahl. Nolan is contemptuous of the constituents who actually sustain the life and economy of the Arrowhead. I first realized that Nolan was a hopeless mining industry shill In December 2014. I was one of about 50 people from Minnesota--mostly from the Arrowhead--who traveled to Washington DC to meet Amy and Dave Freeman when they finished their 101-day Paddle to DC (from the South Kawishiwi to the Potomac) to call attention to the threat of sulfide-ore copper mining in the Boundary Waters watershed. About 25 of us met with Nolan in his DC office. Arrowhead outfitters, guides, and resort owners told their personal stories and explained to Nolan the mortal danger to public lands and waters, and to their own businesses and livelihoods, if copper mining were allowed to proceed in the watershed. Nolan said nothing, except the usual pleasantries at the outset, during the entire 45 minutes or so he was with us--until the very end, after an aide stuck his head in the door and said that Nolan needed to go to another meeting. Instead of acknowledging the facts and concerns people presented to him, Nolan stood up, gave his best politician's phony smile, and said "I hope you will all support my efforts to get the Army out of the Middle East." Then he walked out the door.
