I'm not sure any of those things are things I want to know, being a person of faith...
...fear that the closing of mines and aluminum plants could trigger a mass exodus and redistribute the tax base. "It doesn't look good," says Eric Feaver, who heads the MEA-MFT, a union of teachers and state employees. "People around here are starting to ask themselves what will happen if people leave...
