KY And Coal Companies Sue Federal Government
KENTUCKY...
East Kentucky Broadcasting spoke with Governor Steve Beshear on Wednesday, and he voiced his displeasure with the bottleneck on mining permits created by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Beshear pointed out the obvious hardships created by the lengthy process of approval or disapproval of the permits. He said the delay affected the quality of life for the 18,000 miners in the Commonwealth.
Therefore, he has entered Kentucky into a lawsuit with several coal companies in suing the federal government over the delays. Governor Beshear used tough language in showing the frustration he experiences when dealing with the EPA responses to the crucial mining permits.
