“The permit would have allowed PolyMet to fill nearly 1,000 acres of wetlands at its proposed mine site with dredged material, something mine opponents have described as the largest permitted destruction of wetlands in the state’s history.”
There is not a single Government agency that has supported this mine state or federal. One after another, they continue to find scientific evidence that the mine will harm people and the environment in perpetuity.

I also appreciate the irony that PolyMet is Swiss, and we'd be exporting the wealth generated by mining Minnesota's natural resources to Switzerland.

Marley: "Not to be argumentative, but Cliffs uses the iron ore that they produce in their own blast and now electric arc furnaces.
I don't want to start an online agreement, but I do know what I'm talking about. I work for Cliffs."

motox380: "China has firm grip in Minnesota based companys. Clevland Cliffs(iron ore mines)Seems those running the country are helping China prosper. Also seems like many feel we should get these metals from China and their child slave labor. Like Chinas child slave labor mines in the Congo.
Also Cirrus in Duluth is owned by China company. Yay"
