McConnell and Paul Comment on Alpha Natural Resources Announcement

June 8, 2012

Washington, D.C. - Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and Senator Rand Paul released the following statement Friday regarding the announcement by Alpha Natural Resources that they will reduce coal production in Kentucky:
