Congressman Rogers Assails EPA During Pikeville Visit

WEKU | By Chris Anderson, The Appalachian News-Express

Published October 21, 2011 at 10:23 AM EDT

As Pike County officials continue to celebrate strides toward establishing commercial air service at the Pikeville-Pike County Airport, Congressman Hal Rogers chose instead to focus on the state of the coal industry during a visit to Pikeville this week. At an event at the University of Pikeville on Wednesday, Rogers vowed to “reign in” the Environmental Protection Agency and to continue to resist the Obama Administration’s “war on coal.”
