Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Tina Smith took the Senate floor around 7:40 p.m. Central Time to protest legislation that would remove protections for Minnesota's Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, prompting a rescheduling of a planned vote to Thursday, April 16 and drawing public statements opposing mining near the watershed. Washington, D.C. — Separately, congressional action has moved to lift a moratorium on mining near the Boundary Waters, with reports of a 50-49 Senate tally sending a repeal measure toward presidential consideration; Twin Metals Minnesota and parent Antofagasta support development while Minnesota senators, tribes and conservation groups warned of contamination risks.

Timeline of Events

  • 2023年:拜登政府宣布对边界水域部分地区附近的新采矿进行为期数十年的暂停。
  • 美国众议院通过一项决议,要求取消禁令(此前一个月在参议院采取行动前已有报道)。
  • 参议员蒂娜·史密斯于中部时间晚上7:40左右在参议院发言,抗议拟议的立法,导致投票改期至4月16日。
  • 参议院以50票对49票通过了与废除禁令相关的议案,并将该措施提交总统。
  • 部落领导人、环保组织以及明尼苏达州参议员在立法行动后公开警告污染和文化影响。

Why This Matters to You

这场矿业辩论影响着您的社区。如果暂停令解除,新的矿业可能会为明尼苏达州带来就业机会和经济增长。但风险也随之而来。在边界水域附近进行矿业开采可能会导致污染,影响当地野生动物和水质。

The Bottom Line

参议院的这一分裂决定意味着边界水域的命运尚不确定。请密切关注 4 月 16 日重新安排的投票。请记住,您的声音很重要。请联系您当地的代表,分享您的看法。如果您认识热爱户外活动的人,不妨转发。
