The Iron County board decided last night to table a vote on recommendations from their forestry committee to evict LCO tribal members and their allies from the Harvest and Education Camp located at the edge of Gogebic Taconite’s proposed mine site. The board referred the issue back to the Forestry Committee, which voted unanimously at its last meeting to press criminal and civil charges against organizers of the camp. The committee meets again on August 13th.
In the meantime, GOP prosecutor wannabe Tom Tiffany ( R-GTAC) must be livid this morning, having recently sent a letter to Iron County declaring the camp ” illegal” and it’s occupants ” squatters “. Tiffany appears to be the only GOP legislator to date who is so thoroughly unfamiliar with the tribes treaty rights that he’s willing to shoot off his mouth so embarrassingly to the press.
I wonder what he’ll be having for breakfast this morning?
