BLUEFIELD — The 11 state legislators from West Virginia and Virginia who met with the Bluefield Daily Telegraph editorial board last week face different challenges when they return to Charleston and Richmond, Va., this week.

I was surprised to see the Washington Post article "Big Coal digs in against government safety push" on the front page of the Jan. 5 Daily Mail. I actually thought the carrier had mistakenly delivered the Gazette instead of the Daily Mail.
This article was incredibly one-sided and did not do justice to the complex issue of mine regulation and safety violations.
