DANVILLE — Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling joined local legislators, officials and businessmen in Danville Friday to announce his opposition to uranium mining and milling in Virginia.
“Over the past year much has been written about the proposal to lift the ban on uranium mining and milling in Virginia,” Bolling said. “Advocates on both sides of this debate have done an effective job advocating their point of view. I have listened carefully to this debate, and after a great deal of consideration I have come to the conclusion that the Virginia General Assembly should maintain the ban on uranium mining and milling in Virginia.”

Tell DOE: "Recycling" with radioactive materials is NOT acceptable!
The Department of Energy (DOE) is considering a plan to allow radioactively-contaminated metal from nuclear weapons facilities to be “recycled.” This would allow this toxic metal to be mixed with clean recycled metal and enter into normal commerce—where it could be turned into anything from your next pants zipper to baby toys. Act below to stop this outrage!

Danville Doctors Sign Petition Opposing Uranium Mining
Danville, VA - A number of medical professionals in Danville are taking a stance against uranium mining.
Danville's Vice Mayor Dr. Gary Miller is the head cardiologist at Danville Regional Medical Center. He is planning to present a petition signed by doctors and nurses opposing uranium mining, to lawmakers in Richmond. Miller says he was compelled to start the petition based on his concerns that serious health effects will arise from lifting the ban, but officials with Virginia Uranium say that's just not true. Now it will be up to the General Assembly to decide. "I knew at least four physicians who had told me if the ban was lifted they would move from the area, " said Miller. He announced at a recent staff meeting that he would be starting a petition for medical professionals who oppose uranium mining. And he was surprised by the number of signatures he got. http://www.wset.com/story/20406333/danville-doctors-sign-petition-opposing-uranium-mining
