No Lack Of Complaints At Pikeville Hearing
Public hearing at Pikeville College on the President's Commission on Coal drew complaints from Gov. Julian Carroll, industry leaders, and local citizens over transportation, housing, and especially federal OSM regulations. Carroll urged quick talks with Congress and the White House as he warned OSM overreach could curb coal production and raise costs in 1979. The hearing pressed the Louisville & Nashville Railroad as a bottleneck for eastern Kentucky coal shipments.
