Betsy Daub, from environmental group Friends of the Boundary Waters Wilderness, criticizes lawsuit filed by the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce against the Pollution Control Agency. Daub says it's an attempt to weaken environmental protections. The Chamber says a state rule governing sulfate pollution in wild rice waters is out of date and is not based on good science.
SPEAKER 1: We've been told by the mining industry all along that they can and will comply with Minnesota's good environmental regulations and that they will protect our water. And here, we have an attempt to weaken the laws that Minnesotans want for our clean water and resources like wild rice.
