Mechem urges broad backing for strip mining bill
Senator Stan Mechem told Rotary Club members in Nelsonville that a fair bill to regulate strip mining needs full Governor Lausche support and active civic, labor, and business backing in affected counties. He noted past bills failed, hearings occurred, and a state study commission wields influence as the open pit issue damages land and infrastructure.
