Dayton administration to announce PolyMet decision

March 3, 2016 By Bill Werner

Environmental groups say their analysis is flawed. Backers say PolyMet will create hundreds of jobs in an area of Minnesota that needs an economic boost. Governor Mark Dayton said earlier the PolyMet decision would likely be the most difficult of his time in office.  “I want to know that every single possible outcome has been considered in advance,” he said.
