Supreme Court Upholds Strip Mining Law Amid Relaxation Push
The Supreme Court unanimously upheld the nation’s four year old strip mining act though some provisions may face challenges. Interior Secretary James Watt announced plans to ease federal restrictions and end excessive enforcement. The Office of Surface Mining will cut staff from 860 to 628 and offices from 42 to 22 by August 31 with regional directors informing employees Monday. The court also ruled that two inmates in single cells do not automatically violate the Constitution and that private health care firms are not immune to antitrust suits under a 1974 reform law. The judiciary also plans to refine seniority and promotion rules under federal equal opportunity laws.
