When the news report said that Burke "wants to put on the brakes" on the mine, Zepecki said he asked Burke, "Did you intend to say that you will stop the mine?"

"And she said, 'No, if it's going to go forward, we have to do a better job of protecting the quality of the air and water.'"

Burke was not available to clarify her comments on Wednesday afternoon, Zepecki said.

Zepecki said that Burke, who is heading to the region for a three-day campaign swing beginning Thursday, isn't opposed to iron mining in northern Wisconsin if a mine was reviewed under the state's former iron mining laws.

I'm sure Mary's stance on this will help motivate the Democratic Party base in Wisconsin. Not. Everything this woman says leads me to believe she's throwing the election to Scott Walker.
