Inside Minnesota: Silica Sand Storm (Part 4)

In St Charles, Minn., a sand production company is trying to build a plant on 300 acres of land, and residents there are afraid it will ruin their way of life.

In part four of Inside Minnesota - and our conclusion to the series - WCCO's Susie Jones talks to a lawmaker about what's being done to answer citizens' concerns.
