My wife talked to a woman yesterday whose husband workes for Alpha, she said her husband told her Alpha was a lot worse than Massey. If that is true it is just a matter of time before the unthinkable happens again.

Your way, way behind me on this topic BUD and not saying a damn thing i don't already know. If you review this entire topic all the way back to the first post, 4000 postings ago, you'll see that i have been here through it all and have heard every contradictory argument that could ever be made in support of massey and msha. Only then would you understand that what i'm right about now is only a fraction of what i've been right about since the explosion took place.
Did you ever think, just for a minute, that my reply wasn't directed solely at YOU. If I was replying directly to YOU I would have hit reply on your post. I have read this whole topic I have been on here for just as long as you have. That was my opinion on the whole big shibang.

There are rumors floating around that there will be big changes at Alpha. They say the CEO, Kevin Crutchfield, plans to close some of the smaller, unproductive mines, and reduce the number of employees. The miners better hold back a few dollars at Christmas, in case this is true. And, I have always believed this "running right" is just a smoke screen, to continue the Massey bad habits.

Twenty nonths later, and the US Attorney is still dragging his feet. The settlement reached today only helps to confirm my belief that Don Blankenship and his cronies on the Massey Board are going to walk. It makes me wonder if the US Attorney has the fortitude to bring this bunch to justice. These egregious violations of safety laws should not go unpunished.

There is supposed to be a settlement announced today between the survivors of the UBB disaster. It was reported that the mediation at Glade Springs between them and Alpha was successful. I'm still waiting for the US Attorney to bring these people to justice. If they aren't held accountable there will never be safety in the coal fields.

The whole project is 8.6 million.. Look at coal river mountain watch's contribution.. they just did it for the treehugging attention.. if they really wanted to make a statement, they'd spend more on the school and less on power poles to put people in..and then bail them out of jail
Annenberg Foundation offering $2.5 million toward new Marsh Fork Elementary School
April 29, 2010 by Ken Ward Jr.
West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin has scheduled a press conference for 11 tomorrow morning to announce a major grant toward funding construction of a new Marsh Fork Elementary School in Raleigh County.
The Annenberg Foundation has offered the $2.5 million to help build the school, a move that would get students, faculty and staff away from the adjacent Massey Energy coal-processing plant and the huge Massey slurry impoundment that sits just up the hollow from the school.
UPDATED: Here’s the link to Gov. Manchin’s press release, announcing that additional contributions from Massey and the local school system will reach the amount needed for the new school.
The governor’s office issued a press advisory this evening announcing that Gov. Manchin, local legislators, the Raleigh County Board of Education, the School Building Authority would join Charles Annenberg Weingarten of the foundation at the press Capitol press conference. The advisory said only that the governor would be making an announcement “regarding a financial gift that will go toward building a new school facility in Raleigh County.”
The Wall Street Journal Online reports:
A person familiar with the offer said Mr. Annenberg learned about the school when he came to the area following the Upper Big Branch accident, and that he got support for the project from the foundation’s board members who include family members.
The WSJ quoted Matt Turner, Manchin’s communications director:
We’re extremely pleased and delighted with this.
The $2.5 million will go a long way toward the $4 million that Raleigh County still needed for the new school after the School Building Authority awarded the county $2.6 million. Massey Energy agreed to provide $1 million and the county already had $1 million — and a smaller contribution from Coal River Mountain Watch of $10,000 — but $4 million was still needed to fund the $8.6 million project.

I quit watching the movie when I saw a familiar treehugger.

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Aries

It won't be long before you start to feel bored today, unless you can distract yourself - you're switching from one activity to another. Ideally, you should keep yourself amused by doing something that's unusual or challenging, otherwise you'll be tempted to stir up trouble just to see what happens next! Even though you know that's a bad idea, you won't be able to resist, unless you've got something better to do with your time.
