USA Today: Interior bans mining near Grand Canyon.

“Republican members of Arizona’s congressional delegation have lambasted temporary bans imposed by Salazar in 2009 and again last year. They say a permanent ban on the filing of new mining claims would eliminate hundreds of jobs and unravel decades of responsible resource development.” Good, but still leaves 3,000 already-staked claims in place. And ‘responsible resource development’? Any east-coast journalists walked around the West lately?
