I get it, coal is big in your state, but coal is dying and no amount pro-coal governance is going to bring it back. Quit pandering to this sector, it's time to move on and figure out new ways to support the former coal workers.

It doesn’t matter if coal is dying, it matters if coal is paying him.

I don't think you realize, he's not pandering - he IS coal. That's where his family made their money and he continues to directly benefit from coal cut-outs in legislation that he forces in.
