Congressman Keith Rothfus [PA-12] released the following statement on the rule: “This rule means – quite simply – that the Obama Administration is accelerating its war on working families in its final days. The President’s agenda has already killed thousands of good-paying jobs for American workers, and this rule threatens to enhance the pain that so many of our neighbors feel," said Congressman Rothfus. " President Obama’s out of touch hostility toward the middle class in America's energy heartland has already destroyed over 40,000 jobs in the coal industry alone, jeopardizing the futures of coal country families and communities. I will continue to fight this rule so that families in our community can continue to live fulfilling lives unimpeded by unfair Obama Administration overreach." Congressman Rothfus previously backed the Supporting Transparent Regulatory and Environmental Actions in Mining (STREAM) Act (H.R. 1644), of which he was a co-sponsor. The bill delayed the implementation of the OSM's SPR and required the agency to study the effectiveness of existing rules before imposing this policy. -30- | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
