In the latest episode of Taconite Talks, Sen. David Tomassoni, who represents District 6, explains how mining and environmental responsibility go hand in hand. Mining and logging activities on the Iron Range have been happening for more than 135 years, yet the area also boasts some of the most pristine natural areas in the state.
“Not only do we care about the environment in the area, but we take care of the area,” said Sen. Tomassoni. “We make sure that the logging and mining is done in such a way that the area remains pristine, and we’re going to continue to do that for the rest of our lives because we live there, we play there, and we work there.”
