(Green Bay, Wisconsin) – Plans for a major Wisconsin iron ore mine
perched in the Penokee Hills above Lake Superior have been cancelled
[1]. The proposed Gogebic taconite mine had from the beginning been
incautious regarding the potential to destroy tribal rice lands, foul
the Great Lakes, and rife with corruption. This is a major blow to
all-but-announced Presidential candidate Scott Walker, stopping his
anti-science attacks upon Wisconsin’s environment for the benefit of
out-of-state funders, even as his demagoguery against workers and
education continues [2].
“I guess this means my old college buddy Scott Walker will have to
give back the $700,000 bribe from his out-of-state backers,” notes Dr.
Glen Barry sarcastically. “This is a major loss for Governor Walker’s
authoritarian demagoguery, and shows the weakness of his anti-science
environmental policies. It shows that when Progressives and Greens unite
Scott Walker can be beaten.”
