Robert Pilot is diving deep into the recent Senate vote that threatens the Boundary Waters and talking with State Senator Mary Kunesh about the urgent need for “Prove It First” mining legislation. Between updates on education funding and school trust lands, we get an inspiring look at the mission to rescue 2,000 beagles over in Wisconsin. Plus, Bob Blake joins the conversation to remind us why protecting our natural resources from toxic mining is a fight we can’t afford to lose.
