Rep. Stauber to U-S Interior Secretary: Come up north and talk to miners

May 6, 2022 By Bill Werner

As U-S Interior Secretary Deb Haaland visited the Twin Cities Friday, announcing investments for new urban parks in Minnesota and across the nation, 8th District Republican Congressman Pete Stauber was at the Minnesota Capitol telling her, come up north.  “She can find time to come to the metro area to talk about parks and trails, yet refuses to come up to northern Minnesota and look in the eyes of the families… [of] the miners,” Stauber said.

Stauber says the Polymet project is in its 20th year of the permitting process and the E-P-A disapproved a permit that won awards during the Obama administration — plus the water permit for the Twin Metals project has been removed. The group Save the Boundary Waters responds nearly 70 percent of Minnesotans — including over half of Stauber’s district — want the pristine waters of the B-W-C-A protected from sulfide-ore copper mining.
