Yep. This never would have happened in California, because California does not allow corporations to run rough-shod over the rights of people. There was a good piece on NPR yesterday about the gaps in oversight of chemical storage in W. Virginia. After every accident there are proposals made to prevent accidents, and they are always quietly squashed by the W V government to please the companies.

Barawwwwk: They weren’t asleep, they were proposing laws to deal with it. However, these were filibustered in the Senate and vetoed by a 19th century House.

Let’s just trust industries will do what is best for people, the environment and there own self intrest. Remember how well BP,(we bring oil to American shores) did .

This is the second comment of yours I have read today and it leaves me with one question for you:
Did you lose your mind all at once or was it a slow, gradual process?

Looks like the GOP finally found a way to generate jobs! Even the Funeral industry has hired 1000 more “workers” to assist in hiding the evidence. Only problem is, the newly hired workers are only being paid the minimum wage. “After all”, the GOP spokesperson said, “how much skill does it take to dig a hole, lower a casket and fill the hole back up again”?

Tell your congressional representatives that the E.P.A. and the regulators of coal need more workers!
You can’t starve a regulatory agency and then complain that it didn’t catch a safety violation.
