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'd say this is classic co-opting.

Nothing in here requires permits for or limits air emissions.
Nothing requires a permit for water withdrawals. This order give the
operator the authority to submit a plan, and as long as the plan meets the methods approved by DEP, DEP can not deny or reject a plan submitted by the operator.
- Nothing prohibits on-site burial of pit wastes. It says pits can be
"managed on site in a manner otherwise approved by the Secretary of the WVDEP", and DEP currently approves on-site burial?
So I am wondering if it is time to blast this proposal as too little, too
late, and a prescription for continued outrage among citizens and uncertainty for industry. It is a classic example of Tomblin's continuing failure to provide leadership.
