An anti-mining group is trying to get Oneida County towns to oppose sulfide mining in the county and oppose looser laws on the practice statewide.
So far, five Oneida County towns have signed on.
The towns of Lynne, Cassian, Nokomis, Newbold, and Lake Tomahawk have all approved resolutions on the subject.
The measure is being considered by several other towns, too, said mining opponent Karl Fate.
“What we’re looking for ultimately here is to have the county take a position against sulfide mining and then to ask for the repeal of Act 134,” Fate said.
Act 134 is a 2017 Wisconsin law that eased the process for potential mining companies in the state.
