Where Government has a Place to Protect People: The West Virginia Mining Story
President Clinton and the Labor Department signed many measures to protect our nation's coal miners. Many of the reform and protection measures enforced by the Clinton Administration have been repealed or were left to expire under the Bush Administration.
The following article deals with the issues of coal miners in the country. It is a must read on an issue that all Democrats should be able to agree that reforms need to be reinstated to protect workers in our coal mining industry.

Great post. The tragedy in WV does the need for government regulation to protect workers.
Government has a legitimate right to act when the well-being of others is in jeapordy.
No doubt there is regulation, but like most regulatory agencies and processes, we'll probably find that they were overfocusing on those issues that require the least work and/or generated the least resistance, and not enough on the real problems.
Time will tell ...
