Marshall reports on Overturning a Water Permit for MinnTac & Rate Increases for MN Power Customers

Marshall Helmberger

This week Marshall from the Timberjay newspaper has a lot to report - on a recent Court of Appeals overturning of a water permit for Minntac that was a win for both sides - US Steel as well as environmental groups.  He also tells us the reason behind an interim rate hike for MN Power customers and a dip into the effect of wind turbines on bird deaths.
