Bob Loeffer, former state mining official, telling Calista how great Red Dog mining is for Natives, if just that, nothing more. State knows minerals will be found connected to Native Villages, why haven't they started off on the right business track yet? Red Dog Mine, Tech Cominco, has taken NWABorough's filing for increased taxes on the mine to court.  No decision has been made yet, but it has made it's divisions, money vs. common sense. Twenty seven years ago the state should have given NANA a huge loan to open the mine itself, or increased taxes on the mine.
