Defying decades of past precedent, the Ohio State Supreme Court has OK'd strip mining of coal on state-owned lands, including state parks and other protected areas. The ODNR did their best, testifying against the practice and arguing that strip mining destroys the natural landscape and therefore is not a reasonable use of public land.
The Supremes ruled 6-1 that such destruction has now magically become "reasonable." Absurd.
"Hey kids! It's a big family outing! We're gonna spend the day at the Salt Fork State Park and Mining Company!"
