State senators Mike Prusi and Jason Allen, as well as state representatives Michael Lahti, Steven Lindberg and Judy Nerat issued the statement claiming the proposal attacks the Upper Peninsula’s (U.P.) economic interests.
Perhaps using erroneous information from mine supporters, the politicans claim that the ballot’s focus on uranium mining is a scare tactic as ” no ‘uranium mining activity has ever existed, nor has any uranium ore been discovered, in our state.”
Dishonestly, the politicans claim that the ballot proposal would “BAN any future mining.” The ballot proposal affects only “Part 632″ Michigan mining law, which regulates only nonferrous metal mining.
