Strip mine bill faces delay in Springfield House
Rep Kenneth Boyle struggles to move a strip mining reclamation bill to final passage as Speaker Blair delays action. The measure, already Senate approved, differs from James Nowland’s earlier proposal mainly in a $5 million appropriation versus $1 million. The plan would allow state purchase of mine property for redevelopment.
