West Virginia attorney general challenges Maryland’s new coal fee plan

  • West Virginia Attorney General J.B. McCuskey is urging Maryland lawmakers to table a bill targeting out-of-state coal producers, claiming it harms the coal industry.
  • The proposed bill would impose fees on coal passing through the Port of Baltimore, impacting coal-producing states, as it is the second largest coal exporting port in the U.S.
  • McCuskey argues that the proposed bill could be unconstitutional and would double the cost of sending coal through Maryland.
  • Only 2% of the funds from Maryland's Coal Dust Cleanup and Asthmas Remediation Act would support asthma treatment; the rest would help the general fund.
