Verso Paper Fire Hurting State’s Logging Industry [AUDIO]
UNDATED - Minnesota loggers are feeling the effects of the fire and explosion at the Verso Paper mill in Sartell.
Scott Dane is executive director of the Associated Contract Loggers and Truckers of Minnesota. He says at this point he's not aware of anyone having to throw in the towel.
Dane is hoping Verso will be able to re-open the mill, otherwise he fears it could be the end for many Minnesota loggers.
