CEO says late changes to Senate tax-cut bill 'wipes out' what Trump has done for coal

CEO says late changes to Senate tax-cut bill 'wipes out' what Trump has done for coal
BY AVERY ANAPOL - 12/06/17 09:22 AM EST

The CEO of one of the nation’s largest coal companies ripped the Senate tax-reform bill, saying late changes to the bill would “wipe out” coal mining jobs.

Robert Murray, founder and CEO of Murray Energy, said Tuesday that the tax hike on coal mining firms that would result from the changes would cancel out progress that President Trump has made on reviving the coal industry, according to CNN.

“We won’t have enough cash flow to exist,” Murray told CNN Money. “This wipes out everything that President Trump has done for coal.”
