Sunrise River Energy Station holds promise of hundreds of union jobs for Chisago County

Union members in Chisago County are organizing public support for a national power company's plans to develop a natural gas-fired electric plant in Lent Township, which, if approved, could mean hundreds of new building trades jobs.

GOOD ! Bring it on....

This County needs a kick in the ass, it's been scaring off businesses for years. We need the businesses tax money here in the highest taxed County in Mn, it'll help lift the tax burden off the back of the home owner.
I look forward to any business locating here, local jobs or outside jobs, what the hells the difference? Theses Dad's have hungry children at home and get the same foreclosure notices we do, don't be so damn self centered!

I do not want this thing any where near my house..I would rather drive to the Twin cities everyday! Is that being self centered mr.

Yep it is Mr.

Why don't you want it here? is it because you see signs? Is it because you are not well informed? This plant would be in my opinion a pretty good addition to this already struggling over taxed County. It has no adverse affects on the environment, it will bring in 25 or so permanent jobs, which would then bring those folks here to live. It will also have direct and indirect benefits caused by local spending. The plant will bring an increase in spending to our local businesses, the very same places you spend money, Do you want these businesses to close or continue struggling? I for one would like to see them here in another 20 years. These are just a few things in which reflects direct and indirect benefits here in our own County.

This plant will benefit this County in more ways then just monetary, it will help clean up the Sunrise River that everybody complains about. It will stop our waste water treatment plant (Chisago City) from dumping 1.2 million gallons of treated water into the river. You see what I mean by you being a little self centered, remember it's not all about you mr.
