Mr. Rukavina (regarding the PolyMet mine plan):
I was at the hearing and we have a difference of opinion about sulfide mining for the State of Minnesota. I believe, after much research and studying the Environmental Impact Statement (which I was told you have not read), that this type of mining is a huge mistake waiting for us to make. Our waters are too important to put at risk.
Having said that, I am writing about one particular comment you made, and which I have heard other legislators say too, that we should mine here and not in countries with poor regulations. When will mining companies clean up their acts and take responsibility for their own pollution instead of blaming poor regulations? It's totally their call about how they mine. Why do they feel they have to adhere to a poor regulation? I agree, "It's wrong to export that pollution." It's also wrong to import it here.
