Feb 14, 2013: WUWM poll reports public opinion re mine; Scroll down to the last few paras of Mitch Teich's segment on WUWM and mine opinions are reported as follows:"With mining legislation moving its way rapidly through the Wisconsin legislature, the poll also looked into how Wisconsinites prioritize competing economic and environmental concerns linked to a proposed iron ore mine in northern Wisconsin. There, too, the state’s divided nature came to the surface. Around eighty-five percent of the respondents expressed an opinion about the legislation itself – and those Wisconsinites were evenly split. So Cera and his survey team looked at the remaining fifteen percent. “We asked them which was the more important consideration – potential economic impact of the proposed mine, specifically up to 3,000 new jobs in the northern part of the state; or the potential environmental costs – air pollution and contamination of ground and surface water. And of the undecided people, sixty-two percent say the environmental costs are the more important consideration.” The Wisconsin Economic Scorecard poll was conducted between February 4-7, and the sampling margin of error was plus/minus 3.9 percent."
