Prop 5 still leading 53.3-46.7

I don't see how spitting in the face of "forever wild" deserves a smiley face here.
There will be more land put into the reserve than taken out. Everybody wins.
No, it's the principle of the thing. "Forever wild" means "forever wild"- and the Adirondacks were very specifically and purposefully created to be forever wild. You don't f[inks] with that, if words have meaning.
Also, I'll trust the mining company's promise about as far as I can throw it.
I'm fairly sure that would be illegal (the mining company backing out on its obligation, that is).
