That story is so complex, and raises so many more questions than it answers, and I've actually been to Silver Bay.
Well, was driven through there by my parents many years ago. The city has a municipal liquor store? Who do they think they are, Montgomery County MD? They have a "councilor" whose name means "perfect" in Italian? There's a coalition opposed to copper mining…Don't they want northern Minnesota to have another giant ore pit? Look at the pretty green water at the bottom of the current one!

Hippies must have invaded. It was founded as a mining company town.
Wiki.The city of Silver Bay was founded on May 1, 1954 after previously being known as the Beaver Bay housing project. The company town was built to process taconite mined and shipped by train from Babbitt, Minnesota, [ Mesabi ] sixty miles to the northwest.[7]
Silver Bay attained widespread publicity in the 1960s when it was discovered that the Reserve Corporation was dumping taconite tailings into Lake Superior. In 1972 they were forced to stop and charged with violating the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899, which prohibited the dumping of harmful materials into interstate waters. In 1977, after a long trial, a new waste-storage facility was built 7 miles inland.
