Battle Over Strip Mining in Western Maryland
In Annapolis a debate pits coal industry supporters against conservationists over repealing a 1975 ban on surface mining on slopes steeper than 20 degrees in Western Maryland. Garrett and Allegany counties back repeal to revive jobs, while environmentalists warn of threats to water, wildlife, and communities. Democratic and Republican lawmakers from the region clash with former officials and lobbyists as Gov. Burgess signals likely veto if the measure passes.
