Another example of delaying tactics by the ultra-wilderness crowd of which I’m beginning to think Nolan is a member. The swap was passed by the MN Legislature, signed by the Governor, passed by the U.S. House. Now all it needs is our two Senators to introduce and drive it through the Senate and get the President to sign it. Shouldn’t take but a few weeks. The swap could be done by next spring and we could start creating jobs on the new state land. But, no. Our congressman-elect is going to delay delay delay this one just like he’ll delay the permitting of mining in NE MN. How quickly we see his agenda.
