1. Joe should ride his Harley over to BC and see for himself!

He admits he's ignorant and he will do nothing to school himself! If the school was crowding a coal company he would have been there ASAP!

2. He didn't attend the meeting either, just sent reps

My question is is the school going to be moved at state expense or coal company? If Massey has enough money to spend 2 million doing character assasination on Warren, then surely they can foot the bill for moving the school!

3. They'd better move it to higher ground!

Anyone downstream of this puppy, had best wear their industrial strength water wings, at all times.

On June 21, 2001, some members of OVEC and Coal River Mountain Watch toured the massive 645 acre Brushy Fork coal slurry impoundment.

Brushy Fork Slurry Impoundment, operated by Marfolk Coal, a subsidiary of Massey Energy, is located in extreme westernmost Raleigh County, West Virginia. Brushy Fork is a tributary of Little Marsh Fork, that flows into Marsh Fork, comprising part of the headwaters of the Coal River upstream of Whitesville.
