KFTC Moves on the Capitol

JW Randolph

Can’t wait hear how it went!

Kentuckians for the Commonwealth rallied at the state capitol to show their love for the mountains. Many made the trip to Frankfort from Eastern Kentucky in support of House Bill 385, a bill to protect Kentucky’s waterways and valleys from being filled by debris from mountaintop removal. But coal supporters believe this bill has a hidden agenda.

Actually, KFTC and our agenda to stop mountaintop removal is quite clear. Its THEIR hidden agenda to depopulate the Appalachians for coal thats got my attention.
