The MSF Grant Proposal: A Masterwork of Fiction As soon as March 26th, the Michigan Strategic Fund will vote on whether to award $50 million in taxpayer dollars to the Copperwood Mine, a foreign company's plan to extract Michigan's copper, send it out of country for processing, and leave the closest metallic sulfide waste pile to Lake Superior in history. Copperwood would also be immediately adjacent to both the North Country Trail and Porcupine Mountains State Park. If you think this is an atrocious use of taxpayer revenue, we invite you to speak out at the March 26th virtual meeting: https://www.michiganbusiness.org/about-medc/michigan-strategic-fund/public-comment/ You may also submit a written comment here: msfcomments@michigan.org — but in-person attendance is strongly encouraged. Please sign the petition: http://www.change.org/protecttheporkies For more information: http://www.ProtectThePorkies.com #MIStateParks #protecttheporkies #cancelcopperwood #lakesuperior #theporkies #upperpeninsula #michigan #greatlakes #puremichigan #highlandcopper #sulfidemining #northcountrytrail #copperwood
