ESCANABA -- Gabriel Caplett of Headwaters News has written a letter to the editor, published July 23, 2011, by the Escanaba Daily Press: "Watch out for special interest law," concerning the legislation proposed recently by State Sen. Tom Casperson (R-Escanaba) and State Rep. Matt Huuki (R-Atlantic Mine).
Caplett points out in his letter that this legislation "will strip every Michigan township of the right to deny any mining project."
