Two miners recently died in a WVa coal mine fire. The fire was caused by an overheated coal conveyor unit.
Until 2002 such conveyor units were required to be fireproof. In 2002 the Republicans in Congress forced through legislation to eliminate environmental and safety regulations on businesses. The requirement for fireproof conveyors in mines was one of those eliminated regulations.
Always more concerned with the profits of big business than with the needs of people, the Republicans now have more innocent blood on their hands.
