Remove Walter Coles from the Roanoke River Basin Advisory Committe
The Roanoke River Basin Advisory Committee is preparing a recommendation to the VA State Assembly to mine uranium or not. Walter Coles owns the proposed mining site and is an investor in Virginia Uranium Inc. This conflict of interest renders him incapable of serving the best interests of Virginia.
Why is this important?
Virginians across the state are concerned with the collusion between big business and government as it pertains to our water and air quality.
If the ban on mining uranium is not reinstated then the health and well-being of all Virginians will be jeopardized. Virginia's agricultural economy would be forever compromised and diminished as toxic containment facilities routinely fail.
