At the DFL convention in Duluth, delegates debate a proposed ban on copper-nickel mining.
At the DFL convention in Duluth, delegates debate over 100 items, including a proposed ban on copper-nickel mining. This issue may come to a head, as the DFL faces a choice between promoting mining and union jobs or protecting the environment. Historically, the DFL sought a balance on mining issues in the Iron Range, but the St. Louis County Republican Party's pro-mining and increasingly pro-union stance has gained support in northeastern Minnesota, creating tension within the DFL party.
