Subject: Re: [EC] Fwd: Tomblin's Executive Order
Maloney fired the first salvo with his interview with Ry Rivard in the Daily Mail. The acting governor fired back with his executive order.
I see the press conference as the third salvo. He began by blasting the EPA (again) over the Spruce permit, and blasted them again later in responding to a reporter's question. And he assembled a bunch of legislators and industry officials to surround him at the podium.
Maloney has fired back, charging the acting governor is not showing leadership.
This will probably escalate by itself. But Chuck's idea of providing Maloney with the Sierra Club position paper is not a bad one. In the interview Maloney gave to Ry, he has already come close to supporting some of it.

I'm thinking we should send our position paper to Maloney to give him an
complete picture of what's needed...c

I'd say this is classic co-opting.
