Mine Safety


What if the government funded WV community colleges so they could aggressively recruit miners to be trained as safety inspectors and specialists? These recruits from the mines themselves would be dedicated in a very personal way to protecting their own while dealing with the the 62k backlogged safety violations overwhelming regulatory agencies. It would save lives and empower communities.
