Maxey quits over Underwood reappointment delay on mountaintop removal
Raleigh County native Maxey says two year delay in reappointing him was a “slap in the face” and left him reluctant to voice opposition to mountaintop removal, which Underwood supports. He held the forestry post since 1993, facing pressure from agencies to include a reforestation phrase in reclamation specs. He cites timber’s vitality vs coal jobs and argues land reclamation often returns grassland, not timber.
