Mike Jennings and the Hibbing Daily Tribune dig below the surface of the last week’s dust-up over the KSTP Ironworld story (by now I think KSTP has forgotten they even did the story). Read the story.

What’s interesting about this is that Jennings compares how various states tax their mineral extraction. Minnesota’s model is rather unique and far more focused on the citizens affected by the mining industry. Nice work, Perpich family.
