Kentucky’s Grimes takes swing at Obama’s new coal rules

The Washington Times reports:

Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes vowed Monday to fight “the president’s attack on Kentucky’s coal industry,” emerging as one of the first Democrats to denounce the administration’s tough new rules to cut greenhouse gas emissions from power plants.

“President Obama’s new [Environmental Protection Agency] rule is more proof that Washington isn’t working for Kentucky. Coal keeps the lights on in the Commonwealth, providing a way for thousands of Kentuckians to put food on their tables,” Mrs. Grimes said in a statement.

“When I’m in the U.S. Senate, I will fiercely oppose the President’s attack on Kentucky’s coal industry because protecting our jobs will be my number one priority,” said Mrs. Grimes, who serves as the Kentucky secretary of state.

The easiest way to oppose Barack Obama's EPA: is by not having another Democrat in the Senate supporting Harry Reid.
