Check the above link for a great summary of the bizarre jihad the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is waging against El Cabrero's beloved state of West Virginia, which seems to be embarrassing local chambers of commerce. I don't think the US Chamber would be happy unless we abolish the whole civil justice system. As the link shows, basic fact-checking shows their propaganda to be, shall we say, factually challenged.
CHARLESTON -- The Environmental Protection Agency allowed Massey Energy Co. to continue selling coal to government power plants after two subsidiaries pleaded guilty to violating the federal Clean Water Act five years ago.The agreement is outlined in a new government lawsuit that accuses Massey and 27 subsidiaries of thousands new Clean Water Act violations from 2000 to 2006. Federal prosecutors filed the new lawsuit last week.
Provisions of the Clean Water Act could have allowed the EPA to bar other Massey operations from government contracts in 2002. That's because subsidiaries Omar Mining and Independence Coals pleaded guilty to Clean Water Act violations.
