Rep. Craig Reacts to Passage of Pro-Jobs Mining Bill
Madison, Wis. – Today the Wisconsin State Assembly passed an historic mining bill that will help create thousands of good, family supporting jobs in Wisconsin. After casting his vote in favor of this monumental legislation, Rep. Craig (R-Town of Vernon) released the following statement:
“For far too long our state has put unnecessary hurdles in the way of responsible iron ore mining. The facts are clear; this legislation will maintain strong state and federal environmental protections, while allowing job-creating mining companies to have certainty that when they apply to mine in our great state, they will have a clearly defined timeline and an answer in a timely manner.
“Not only will this legislation help create thousands of jobs in Northern Wisconsin, but it will also help create many jobs in Southeastern Wisconsin, including in the 83rd Assembly District.
“Today’s vote reaffirms that the miner on our state’s flag is alive and well – and here to stay.”
