Mountain town not pinning its hopes on reopening of mine

In a few months, residents of Leadville could learn whether the storied Climax mine will reopen.

If the mine were to open, it would certainly give hope to the people of Leadville. The town has sort of lost direction since all the mines have shut down. It would be nice to see the revival of mining, the exit of the EPA, the return of pride, and the removal of illegal imigrants in the town.
I've made several trips back to my hometown and realized that it's definately not the same place I grew-up in.

I bet you "BADASSMOFO" would be crying like a baby if you had to spend half a shift, thats 4-6+ hours working your behind off on a real job. Who and how do you think all the pretty things you covet are made.??? By the way I do care about the enviroment and have lived in the mountains of Colorado for years.

Working in mines is for people that "juss ain't that good at book learnin'"
