Advocates and opponents of the proposed expansion of Potlatch’s pulp mill will gather at a public hearing in Cloquet this week to discuss the project. Potlatch officials say the expansion will lower the amount of chlorine needed and will reduce odors. The Legislative Commission on Planning and Fiscal Policy is expected to vote at noon today on the last major piece of the state’s $838 million financial package for Northwest Airlines. The deal is expected to pass by one or two votes.Researched by the Reference & Information staff at the Duluth Public Library. Call (218) 730-4200/option 5 or click on Ask Us at www.duluth.lib.mn.us.
