“Not every business is a good business.”

At long last the Menominee City Council has asked for a resolution opposing the Back Forty Mine.

Read about it.

Kudos to Mayor Jean Stegeman and council Rep. Frank Pohlmann for pushing it past opposing council members.

More kudos to Stegeman for recognizing and pointing out that all business is not good for the community.

I’m reminded of my 18-month fill-in stint on the Marinette Plan Commission. We very wisely said no to a fireworks business that would have allowed stock to remain in the building during months of closure. The building would have been located near a residential patch of Marinette Avenue.

Good for the community? I think not.
