Beginning at 2 p.m. January 20, 2011, Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin and leaders from the West Virginia Legislature, labor groups, and coal industry will rally for Coal.
What: Rally for Coal
When: 2 p.m., Thursday, January 20, 2011
Where: Lower Rotunda of the State Capitol, Main Building
Why: On January 13, 2011, the Environmental Protection Agency withdrew the previously issued clean water permit for the Mingo Logan Spruce Number One mine. Governor Tomblin believes coal can be mined in an environmentally safe way and calls upon the EPA to reinstate the permit which received approval after passing a rigorous 10-year review. Governor Tomblin encourages the public to join him and other state leaders to show the EPA how coal impacts our lives, and the lives of our fellow countrymen, by standing shoulder to shoulder at this rally.
- The rally is expected to last about one hour.
