Hundreds attend PolyMet meetings

Two public meetings to gather comments on the PolyMet project were held in December. The first in Aurora which had over 800 people, and the second in Blaine with the majority of the 600 people in attendance in support of the nonferrous metal mine. Over 200 people from the Iron Range and Duluth rode chartered buses or drove themselves down to Blaine. They included dozens of building trades union members.

CWCS encourages its supporters and members to comment on the PolyMet draft EIS. You can submit your comments until February 3, 2010 via mail or e-mail. [more...]
