The worst mining disaster in US history occurred on this day in 1907. Officially 367 men died during the explosion at a mine in Monongah. The number was likely much higher. Here’s a pic of the Monongah Heroine statue that stands in the town. #nationalminersday

As the overdose crisis continues, we need to look at ways other than incarceration to address the problem. Treatment is the only way out of the hole we have dug for ourselves. usatoday.com/story/opinion/p… #stopwvoverdoses #opioidcrisis #opioidawareness
Don't jail addicts. Overdose prevention sites work, and the US needs to get on board.

Don't jail addicts. Overdose prevention sites work, and the US needs to get on board.

America's long-standing approach to drug use hasn't worked, and the justice system is overwhelmed

The Ohio Valley Jobs Alliance is a misnomer. It’s not about promoting jobs, it about blocking natural gas expansion in WV and killing jobs. All funded by Big Coal. Here’s an excellent piece by @wvgazettemail wvgazettemail.com/news/wv_tr…

WV's largest coal operator fighting back against growing natural gas industry

Three years ago, a group of residents in West Virginia’s northern panhandle formed a new group, the Ohio Valley Jobs Alliance, and declared themselves a “voice for local jobs.”

Only 4 percent express “a great deal” of trust in the Supreme Court. I would be interested in meeting these 4 percent and perhaps seeing the style of couches they own.

Gov.'s notion that if West Virginia just had a lapdog press that businesses would trip over themselves to come here is misguided. Seattle, Houston, Dallas, Portland, D.C., Tampa, Miami, Charleston SC, are home to newspapers renowned for watchdog coverage wvgazettemail.com/news/polit…
