Congresswoman Harriet Hageman issued the following statement on the announced layoff of 19 employees from the Black Butte Coal Company:
“President Biden’s cruel “green bad deal” policies are creating the damage I have warned about for years. 19 Black Butte Coal Company employees losing their jobs is a completely avoidable situation and one that is entirely related to Biden’s failure to even consider the mine expansion application, which has been stalled by the Department of the Interior and the Office of Surface Mining and Environmental Enforcement for far too long.
“This is all part of this administration’s purposeful plan to eliminate fossil fuels and they don’t care what damage is done to hard working families in the process.”
