Virginia Won’t Let Countryside Be Destroyed Says Governor
Governor Linwood Holton warns Virginia will not allow the widespread mining damage seen in West Virginia. He urges reseeding and soil restoration for stripped lands and discusses funding with the State Department of Conservation and Economic Development. He favors merging water boards but opposes a large super agency and notes rising air pollution concerns. He expects continued funding for sewage treatment and supports wetlands regulation balancing private property rights with environmental needs.
