Local View: For some, there could never be enough proof mining is safe
From the column: Don t be fooled. The proposed legislation isn’t about making mining better; it’s about stopping it in its tracks by adding decades to an already lengthy and robust science-based process.

DFL Duluth Sen. Jen McEwen is the lead author of the bill, which would require proof that a similar mine has operated in the U.S. for at least 10 years, and has been closed for 10 years, without pollution.
