The annual “AP Day at the Capitol” allows many of the stakeholders at the center of the most hotly debated state government topics to discuss very candidly where and why they stand on some issues—and do so before a large group of reporters.   The subject of uranium mining kicked off  events.  As Virginia Public Radio’s Tommie McNeil reports, the panel included an environmentalist, a delegate who represents the proposed mining area, a uranium mining spokesman, and the National Academy of Sciences Chair.
