State Park? Try again, chumps!

U.S. Steel has halted negotiations with the state to turn a large swath of its lands on Lake Vermilion into a new state park. They will now pursue private development of the land.Rich people win again. They're like the Yankees.

Nothing like the good old days when the underground mine was given? sold? to the state for a pittance. I know a couple of local business men who would dearly like there to be lots of new rich people houses on the lake by Tower rather than a couple of picnic shelters.

This is a sad situation. Vermillion would be a great place for a state park, now there will be more five story houses instead.
