On Environment: Badge of honor to be attacked by environmentalists

Tiffany led efforts to change Wisconsin's mining laws to encourage Gogebic Taconite to establish a massive open-pit sulfide mine in Wisconsin. Wisconsin needed to change state law to allow the company to obtain permits to launch the project. Tiffany was among the voices in favor of the mine, which set off protests from environmental advocates. Tiffany called it a "badge of honor" to have been attacked by the Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters. Tiffany has continued to champion mining.
