Conservative Writer Provides Perfect Image For Proposed Iron Ore Mine

A conservative essayist provided the perfect image for Southeastern Wisconsin readers about what's wrong with the proposed iron ore mine in Northern Wisconsin:

...the current proposal will virtually flatten the Penokee Hills by excavating a 22-mile-long, 1,000-feet-deep, and up to 1.5-mile-wide pit. Imagine widening I-94 between Lake Michigan and Pewaukee to 600 lanes — that’s roughly the same footprint.
