But, over time WaterLegacy, tribes, and other allies have preserved Minnesota’s sulfate water quality standard. We have reversed and remanded both PolyMet’s permit to mine and its water pollution permit. The district court and court of appeals found MPCA had circumvented the law to hide EPA comments and illegally destroyed official records. And we are still litigating the permit to mine in contested case hearings and seeking a ruling from Minnesota’s highest court on the MPCA’s irregular procedures.
You may know of the story of the preacher who extolled forgiveness and asked the congregation who among them had no enemies. The only hand raised belonged to a 90-year-old. “How blessed,” the preacher exclaimed, “that you among all of us have no enemies, how did you manage that?” “Easy,” said the congregant. “I outlived the bastards.”
So, we are prepared to stay in the game as long as it takes. We can outlast the polluters and defend the environment.
