The PA General Assembly whooped through a bill allowing longwall mining without much debate. That was 30 years ago.
Result? Massive surface subsidence. Destroyed watersheds. Homes ruined, including historic structures. Mining companies were supposed to make good, but you know how that goes. "Don't like the compensation we're offering? Sue us."
A major highway was undermined, fixed at taxpayer expense.
Meanwhile, a bill to legalize marijuana for recreational use has languished in the legislature for well over a decade even though it has bi-partisan support and the last three governors said they'd sign it.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
