I was driving through Huntington, WV, this morning, and someone had taken all the USA Todays and written "LIES" all over the front page and hung them up. The local news stations were on all last night with details. One of my classmates left school to become a coal miner (he makes more money there than he would with a college degree) and I worry about him a lot. Our governor, Joe Manchin, lost an uncle in the Mannington #9 mine explosion, and I know this really hurts him.
I've also been told that the Sego mine(s) had numerous safety violations.
