Union members still care about his plan, at least where I live. They are trying to build a coal terminal that would involve a constant stream of coal trains along the waterfront, and a huge coal terminal with 80 acres of coal, piled 200 feet tall, all located on wetlands, promising “family wage” jobs and tax revenue.

The problem is that the jobs won’t be in this county and the tax revenue won’t stay here, either. We would get all the negative impact of the coal and none of the benefit, and still the union members are supporting it.

Sounds like Longview, Washington.
