This information is easily available through a simple google search. I don't think an official from the company is in any position to give beneficial advice on mining legislation.Garethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-24879164814867571742012-12-06T04:45:12.356-06:002012-12-06T04:45:12.356-06:00The Republicans will present a mining bill in Janu...The Republicans will present a mining bill in January which will be passed in the legislature that will bring mining back to Wisconsin. It will contain the essential elements of AB426 plus a few minor tweaks to help it sail through the federal permit process a bit easier. Those ferrous cliffs are a good launching pad to begin flying from, and the Wisconsin economy and employment rates should start to gently rise, like a bird with spread wings floating on an updraft.

His testimony at the senate committee involved mining in general, and his views that there are changes to AB426 that would make it easier to pass federal regulations, and he also stressed that the sulfide mining laws need to be changed also. He never claimed to be a spokesman for GTAC or AB426 in particular, but for the mining industry in general; which he has done very well. If he was working against the interest of GTAC in Wisconsin and wanted to favor Cliffs in Michigan, and also felt that AB426 could be made better to facilitate federal permit approval, he simply would not have even brought the subject up. The fact that he did, shows that he is giving the best advice to the legislature that he can to promote mining in Wisconsin and it would be unethical for him not to do so.
