The national government is considering putting a tax on coal in your state. Coal companies and the miners are outraged. What would the responsibilities of the attorney general, the Natural Resources Department, and the governor be?

Answer is

Responses will vary. A sample response follows:

If an issue like this were to arise, many state executive offices and departments would spring into action. The governor's job would be to represent the state in discussions or negotiations with the federal government. The attorney general's responsibilities would include assembling a legal team to fight the tax and to represent the state's case in federal court. Any interested department, like the Natural Resources Department, would be responsible for providing any advice and information to the attorney general and the governor.

    The Natural Resources Department in the state should first evaluate the overall impact of such measure on the state's coal infrastructure in order to properly advice and inform to the state's attorney general and the governor.

    The state's attorney general would be then responsible of representing the states' interests, overseeing the legal actions and governmental operations accordingly.

    And the Governor, having control over the state's budget, should determine based on the attorney general's and NRD's information and the state's convenience, if execute, sign or veto any bill, operation or case compromising the states' interests.
