When I served in the Minnesota Legislature and later lived in Ely for four years, I was opposed to copper-nickel mining up there. But additional environmental protections have now altered my opinion: Today I support PolyMet's proposal to mine those and other ores at its site in northeastern Minnesota. Among the benefits of the proposed mine: hundreds of new permanent jobs.
