Rep. Hall Signs On To Energy Bill
A bill aimed at promoting the use of alternative fuels and renewable energy sailed through committee yesterday and could be a very important piece of legislation for the people of Eastern Kentucky, according to one of the bills co-sponsors, Representative Keith Hall (D –Phelps). 
“When you look at what this will do for the state, we’re talking about prevailing wage jobs that are 20, 25 or 30 dollars an hour and it echoes the needs of math and science.” Hall said before noting how the bill will help keep young people in the state and county.
“If Keith Hall does nothing else; just by being a co-sponsor of this legislation I’ll do more good for my people stopping the brain drain leaving Pike County: Creating jobs for our families, sons, daughters and grand children that can stay in Kentucky.”
The bills is said to have broad bipartisan support and is expected to pass the house by the end of the week.
