FARMINGTON, NM

A federal judge in Colorado said that health dangers posed by coal mining are too great to allow a planned expansion of strip mining at the Navajo Mine.

On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge John L. Kane ruled that the proposed expansion of 714 acres at the 13,000-acre Navajo Mine violates the National Environmental Policy Act, or NEPA.

For those of you who have been following this blog for the past 10 years, Judge Kane's ruling this week directly protects Lucy Willie and her family.  Justice and freedom in our country still prevails.
