[Old School]

Old School, you say in your last post that the money is spent elsewhere, but in post 155 you said that it stayed here. Which one do you believe? The facts are that the majority of coal severance tax does not help coal producing counties.

In post #155 I was talking about wages and the money spent to hire local contractors and consulants and using local suppliers etc., that money stays in E. Ky. In post #161 I'm referring to the coal severance tax money, which is divided among all counties in Kentucky like I said, I think the 4.5% coal severance tax rate is high enough, but more of the tax money should be sent to the county where the coal was mined.
