So polluting and poisoning the water/land in Woodbury, Cottage Grove, Hastings was a good start and its time spread that on a bit more?

For what its worth, 3M already seems to be doing better under the new CEO rather than its former, George Buckley. Buckley came from another co, didn't do a thing, let pollution happen, and made almost $15 million PER YEAR he was CEO. Inge Thulin has actually worked at 3M for decades and committed 3M as a neighbor working with and within MN.

but what about all those horrible taxes that the TeaCons are always whining about? How is it possible that a US Corporation could continue to do business in this state and not move their enire operation over to the tax-free wonderland of South Dakota?
