400 jobs adverted; deal reached on court case

[Mountainsaver]

West Virginia Highlands Conservency, Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition, and other groups failed to have their injuction heard in Federal court, in front of honorable Charles C. Chambers. Seems like the coal industry has got their own solution on the valleyfill issue. They'll just beat everybody to the punch by dumping a few boulders into the headwaters and streams, and declare that the stream has already impacted, so our lawsuit is fribulous, we don' have a case in the courts eyes. This is just another way coal companys and their dirt lawyers, discet the laws to continue with the illegal practice of mountaintop removal. I did not think it was the governors  duty to jump in and request a comprise. The only way that I would have even consider to set down and start talking, there would've have to be agreement to ban MTR, before any discussion took place. Everyone knows that you don't negotation with terrorist, and that's what this industry,along with our governor are nothing short of terrorism upon it's people. And they won an ego trip out of this. There were also the UMWA who thinks their influence play a roll in this deal. I know from the environmental group side, we did get some protection from selinium discharge, but this is like just another rule for the coal companies to disregard, just like all the rest of the laws, anyway who would see that it's enforced. Manchin has already called hiself a friend of coal, but also a friend of the courts. What is he doing for the people of W.Va. What are you doing to make sure that our future is a substainable future that is going to be protected. Nothing for people living in the coalfields. Mark my word, the Governor, the UMWA won a giantic ego trip from this so called deal while to continue pulling off their magical tricks everytime we challenge them in court. I think whether your dealing with the government, the coal industry, or the UMWA, you are dealing with the devil. The lowest of lowest of criminals.
