Did you hear Gregg Jarrett...before she came on?
OMG...I thought he was going to cry....but it got so sickening..he just kept on and on.
Oh...dang...we need a "rational energy policy"...right...he must be from the Coal lobby!!!
Rockefeller, and Rahall are scoundrels. They cannot help being so, it is as instinctual as breathing. However, if they introduce legislation that uses common sense to get more training for miners, mine inspectors and rescuers, then I am for it.
If they intro bills to compel mines to put oxygen stations in mines, and provide tracking gear for miners, then I'll be for that.
Finally, let me introduce another factor for you folks to consider.
There are a lot of federal and state mine inspectors who are on the take, inept, lazy, or all three. When an inspector accepts college football tickets from a mine superintendant, then you have to wonder why, and what did the superintendant receive in return?
They need to clean house in these agencies.
Keep in mind one final thing my friends. I would say a LOT of these miners were, and are, Republicans. If not, W would not have won WV TWICE.
We owe it to them. They are our people.
