In light of that, the republican government of that state had better be prepared to do without coal mines and the income they produce for the state, and find ways to encourage other businesses.

What "...republican government..." are you talking about?
At present the GOP holds NO state-wide office. Next year the GOP will have ONLY the AG and ONE justice (of 5) on the state Supreme Court of Appeals.

Mind you, this state did not have a single county that supported Zer0.....(says a lot about the dysfunctionality of the WV GOP)

Take out the word republican then. And so it just reads “the government”, meaning the state government of wv :)

The miners and unions backed Manchin and Gov Tomblin....they better hold their feet to the fire
