LOUISVILLE (AP) — A former state mining official who
alleged he was fired for opposing illegal coal mining practices has
reached a $270,000 settlement with Kentucky's Energy and Environment
Cabinet.
Ron Mills was Kentucky's director of mine permits but was
fired in November 2009. He later filed a suit saying he was wrongly
terminated.
A settlement document released on Wednesday says the
agreement ends the lawsuit and that negotiations during the settlement
talks would remain confidential.
Mills opposed a state policy that
grants mining permits to coal operators before they had obtained rights
to enter mine property from all property owners on the permit. He said
the policy was illegal and stopped it in August 2008 before it was
reinstated the next year.
