The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and “Regulatory Capture”
The MDNR releases news of PolyMet’s highly controversial and destructive mine, how politically expedient to get this out right before the election.
(Wiki definition of “Regulatory Capture” – A form of government failure that occurs when a regulatory agency, created to act in the public interest, instead advances the commercial or political concerns of special interest groups that dominate the industry or sector it is charged with regulating.)
