Republican Roane Co. Commissioner Randy Ellis calls on Congress and President Obama to regulate coal ash in this Tennessean op-ed:

I am often a strong advocate for less regulation, but large corporations like TVA obviously need strict oversight. [..] President Obama and Congress: Please protect us against coal ash with strong, federal enforceable safeguards. No community should have to deal with what we in Roane County are dealing with.
