W.Va. taxpayers fund anti-Obama coal campaign

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

A group called “The Coal Forum” is sponsoring the events, which include meetings next week in Charleston, Wheeling and Beckley. Listed speakers include Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito, Congressman Nick Joe Rahall, Congressman David McKinley and UMWA President Cecil Roberts. Next week’s meetings are described on the Coal Forum’s website as events:

… To discuss EPA’s War on Coal and, specifically, the agency’s greenhouse gas and Utility MACT proposed rules.

(...)
What you may not realize is that these events are sponsored and paid for by West Virginia taxpayers.

(...)
Over the last two years, the state Legislature (and the governor) have specifically earmarked nearly $60,000 for the “Coal Forum”.
