Hey, PA, You Want in?
Well, this could be an opportunity for the Keystone State.
Since Ohio has crapped out, you could host the party.
Trump is going to sign a bill that will allow coal mining companies to dump their waste into rivers and streams, and he's gonna need an audience.
Yippee! Cue the confetti!
Hey, I'll send you some champagne,,,'cause you sure don't want to be drinking the water. 
Trump cancels reported bill signing in Ohio
President Trump will not be in Ohio this week, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported Monday.
Though the White House had never officially announced the trip, the administration had issued an advisory last week suggesting Trump would make a visit to Vienna, Ohio, according to the newspaper.
The Youngstown Vindicator reported over the weekend that Trump was planning to sign a bill overturning an Obama administration regulation known as the “Stream Protection Rule,” which sought to prevent coal companies from depositing waste into streams.
The Vindicator also reported on Monday that the trip would not happen, citing a spokesman for the 910th Airlift Wing of the Youngstown Air Reserve Station. The spokesman told the paper that the unit was not given a reason for the cancellation.

Bring it on! Most Pennsylvanians aren't concerned about protecting streams from coal mining waste. In fact, we see it as a way to ingest vital vitamins and minerals for free. Pure water is for chumps.

I've been buying bottled spring water for years and it looks like I'll be doing it forever.

Trump signs bill undoing Obama coal mining rule
President Trump on Thursday signed legislation ending a key Obama administration coal mining rule.
The bill quashes the Office of Surface Mining's Stream Protection Rule, a regulation to protect waterways from coal mining waste that officials finalized in December.
The legislation is the second Trump has signed into law ending an Obama-era environmental regulation. On Tuesday, he signed a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution undoing a financial disclosure requirement for energy companies.
