Good friends have worked hard on this project, and both the mining company and the state expect to reap huge revenues from it. It should be noted that Wisconsin rejected a similar project on the grounds of atrocious environmental impact. The only sure thing is that what passed the Senate is better than the absence of rules Michigan has had for this kind of mining.
******************************
LANSING, Mich. The Michigan Senate today unanimously approved a bill that would set up rules for sulfide mining in the state.
