CHARLESTON – Today’s decision by the Obama Administration and the U.S. EPA to revoke the permits for Mingo-Logan’s Spruce Mine shows an unbelievable arrogance and a total disregard for the impact this decision will have on the lives of West Virginia’s families.
The people of West Virginia cannot allow our economy to be destroyed as we wait for months or even years for a court decision on this issue. It is vital that our congressional leadership take the steps necessary to bring the EPA’s senseless assault against Appalachian coal production to an end.
This issue goes beyond coal. Across our country, job after job is threatened by the arrogance of the EPA bureaucracy. Congress must step up and bring this nightmare to an end. Call your Congressional representatives and senators today. Tell them to end the tyranny of the EPA and restore the balance needed to bring jobs back to America.
