WI Republicans Could Care Less About Costs Of Mine Lawsuits

The same so-called GOP fiscal conservatives who are running up a giant tab at taxpayers' expense defending their secretive redistricting 'process' know there will be an even bigger tab defending the indefensible mining bill.

And MBF will make more money off the taxpayer. We should really start a tab on how much Walker has cost the taxpayers.

The ore trains should be running soon. Should be fun to watch. I am hoping that there will be mine tours as I would really like to go there and see it. I went up there last summer to see where the mine would be and all I got was bit up by mosquitoes and scratched up by thorn brush. Hopefully filling in those swamps will take care of that problem and it will be a much more pleasant place for tourists.

yeah, when I think of "pleasant tourist destination" I immediately think "open-pit removal mining".

Oh, I am sure you did.

What a transparent nugget you are. Wiping out an ecosystem because you are bitter about mosquitoes in a place you surely didn't visit? That kind of sums up the conservationist approach of the conservative movement, doesn't it? Do you also burn your house down when it gets slightly too cold in winter?

6:04 sounds a wee bit vindictive and angry as you know this mine ain't going nowhere except the courts.

The next time your up there and a mosquito begins to bite you, try to catch it just as its belly has filled up with your blood. Then take that mosquito and squeeze the blood on to your tongue. You will then taste the cold blood of a soulless excuse for a human who is clueless to the greatness of Wisconsin's beauty.

I don’t know about anybody else, but I actually did visit the area and walked the logging roads that go right along the top of the ridge where the mine is going to be, and although it is nice, there really isn’t much there just woods no real rock outcrops and cliffs like I thought and when I was there I did find pleanty of mosquitoes . This still doesn’t mean that the mining bill should be passed and just because there are some areas which nobody sees or uses. The bill needs to be voted down for the damage it might do to other areas of the state.
