Markey To Coal Lobby: You Should Have Told Lawmakers About Forged Letters

Markey To Coal Lobby: <em>You</em> Should Have Told Lawmakers About Forged Letters

Rep. Ed Markey is putting blame for the forged letters episode where it ultimately belongs: on the coal lobby.

“You’re responsbility was to ensure that the members of Congress knew that this information was fraudulent,” Markey tells ACCCE chief Steve Miller.

Miller had just said he assumed that Bonner himself would have notified the affected lawmakers. But Markey adds that Bonner was very far down the food chain.
