Justices on the Minnesota Supreme Court greeted arguments to disqualify President Trump from the ballot with a mixture of skepticism and interest at a Thursday…
Both sides declared victory following a Minnesota Supreme Court ruling Wednesday that affirms the Court of Appeals’ rejection of PolyMet Mining’s permit for a proposed copper-nickel mine near Babbitt and Hoyt Lakes.
The decision remands the case back to the state’s Department of Natural Resources for a contested case hearing. The agency also was ordered to fix a definite term or duration for the permit if one is granted in the future.
Several environmental groups and the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, respondents in the case, labeled the ruling “pivotal” and “a resounding victory” for communities at risk to pollution from the mine. They called Wednesday’s ruling “crippling [to] the company’s sulfide mining proposal in Northeastern Minnesota.”
