We have a choice: Support new shipping terminals and thousands of new family-wage jobs in the Northwest... or watch them go elsewhere. Moving forward with coal exports would create needed jobs and generate millions in new tax revenue to support key community services like schools and first responders. Labor unions, business leaders, manufacturing and many others have endorsed the proposed projects because they know it's the best way to strengthen our economy.
Fixing our economy won't happen on its own. It takes action to harness our strengths as a region and get our people back to work. We have that opportunity today.
Let's build the terminals here. Let's create the jobs here. Let's get our economy moving again.
