WisconsinEye Corner Table

In case you are looking for more details about the ongoing debate over mining legislation in the State Assembly, WisconsinEye is broadcasting a Corner Table discussion, taped in Hurley on Jan. 11, that included Managing Editor Andrew Broman from the Ashland Current.

The discussion touched on the following questions: How is the region's tourism-and-timber economy recovering from the recession? Has the Gogebic mine proposal split Iron and Ashland counties, dividing those who say hundreds of jobs could be created and those worried about polluted groundwaters? How popular is Republican Gov. Scott Walker, who opponents want recalled?

Other panelists on the show were Danielle Kaeding of Northland College WRNC radio, and Mike Simonson of KUWS in Superior.
