This is Copper Falls State Park, just a few miles from where the new Taconite mine is planned.

Thanks a lot Walker.

A woman I know says the people on the reservation absolutely will not tolerate the mine even though it means jobs. They know it will destroy the environment for EVER. She said there is a lot of tribal money available to help stop it from happening, plus some other ways that she was more secretive.

I love Betty, she reminds me of my mother who is 85.
