Virginia legislators derail uranium mining study

Efforts to study development of the uranium deposits of Pittsylvania County failed to win favor in the conference committee of the Virginia legislature.

“We took it out,” said Del. Clarke Hogan, R-Halifax, one of the 12 conferees.
“We said, ‘we’re not going to put that in the budget,’” Hogan said, speaking for the House’s six members of the conference committee.
“That was the end of that. It wasn’t something we debated,” Hogan said.
