Wall of Shame — Today: Drummond

Today on the Wall of Shame: the Drummond Company PAC (Birmingham) has put $10,000 into Rep. Shomari Figures' campaign account. Figures then voted no on the National Coal Council Reestablishment Act, against the federal body advising on coal jobs and policy — one of only a handful of Democrats opposed.
