Eagle Rock: Economics versus spirit of place

Eagle Rock: Economics versus spirit of place

There is mounting evidence of permits not being addressed properly, along with company gift-giving to local institutions in order to discourage criticism.

A great sadness is that our grandchildren may look at what has happened and, as E. O. Wilson has said, will know more about critical links between environment and health than any of us can ever imagine. while at the same time despise us for not protecting, in our generation and time, the quality of our air, our forests, and our water.

A couple of highlights from an Op-Ed piece in The Mining Journal of Marquette, MI.
