The flip side, though, is the controversial Enbridge pipeline 3 project. Potentially it's an environmental disaster, which is why the tribes and the environmentalists are against it, but there are a lot of Trumpers up that way and they're all for it. Watch Trump exaggerate the number of jobs the project will allegedly bring to the area.

Once again,most likely he will be propping up some out dated Mining Company with Russian ownership interests.

my brother he's an electrician at one of the mines says that every winter they lay off everyone except critical personnel like him, when the investors came in they had a big meeting and told everyone there that if they didn't like how they were going to run the mining operation there was the door, well the UMW, basically told them to go pound sand.
I can still remember when Jones and Laughlin were a big operation on the range, and then came the steel price crash and the flooding of the market and they eventually got taken over after bankruptcy by the new USS steel ..............and ever since then the area has become more rural and more conservative and more of the increase in looking for blame ..................

As my Cousins Children said,can't wait to get the hell out of this area. And they did.

Old saying,you either work the mines or cut Poplar Bolts. Now that Blanding is closing down their operations and shipping OSB from Finland,those Wood Butcher Jobs will be gone shortly.
