Milan's Vigilantes

Milan now has a Vigilante Committee headed by none other than Councilpersons Clark and May. The purpose of the Committee is to spy on Milaners and report back if they see anything eschew on one’s property. They will then report to the building inspector and have him investigate their findings. The building inspector will decide on what action should be taken against the offending party. If you doubt this report, check with some of the merchants on Route 199.
You can be sure that Talmage’s junk yard or Clark’s will not be investigated. They have violated every code on the books in Milan. It is one hell of a note when Board Members try to turn Milan into a police state.Remember this when you go to the polls in November

Milan United's position on Red Wing

Milan United joins those in opposition to the proposed further mining of the former Archer property, and we support the statement made by the Milan Town Board at the hearing In it the town board requests an immediate denial of the permit on the basis that mining is not permitted in the town and any other action would be a denial of home rule. Failing this, the town board requests a 60 day extension of the comment period and an adjudicatory hearing.
We believe that this project is so big that it cannot but disrupt the lives of the individuals living near it and the town in general. We see no plan for mitigation that can compensate from the resulting disruption. We have seen the disruption caused by the limited mining operation presently conducted by Red Wing, and certainly an expansion of the facility will not result in any diminution of this.
Tens of thousands of years ago the last continental glacier laid down this ribbon of sand and stone in its retreat north. We believe that it should stay as it was deposited until the next glacier chooses to move it. The potential damage to the environment of the town is too great to take the risk
