Enforcement of Mine Safety Seen Slipping Under Bush |

Enforcement of Mine Safety Seen Slipping Under Bush
by Seth Borenstein, Linda J. Johnson and Lee Mueller
WASHINGTON -
Since the Bush administration took office in 2001, it has been more
lenient toward mining companies facing serious safety violations,
issuing fewer and smaller major fines and collecting less than half of
the money that violators owed, a Knight Ridder Newspapers
investigation has found.
At one point last year, the Mine Safety and Health Administration
fined a coal company a scant $440 for a "significant and substantial"
violation that ended in the death of a Kentucky man.
The firm, International Coal Group Inc., is the same company that owns
the Sago mine in West Virginia, where 12 workers died earlier this
week.
The $440 fine remains unpaid.
Relaxed mine safety enforcement is widespread, according to a Knight
Ridder analysis of federal records and interviews with former and
current federal safety officials, even though deaths and injuries from
mining accidents have hovered near record low levels in the past few
years.
The analysis shows:
-----The number of major fines over $10,000 has dropped by nearly 10
percent since 2001.
The dollar amount of those penalties, when adjusted for inflation, has
plummeted 43 percent to a median of $27,584.
-----Less than half of the fines levied between 2001 and 2003 - about
$3 million - have been paid.
-----The budget and staff for the enforcement office also have
declined, forcing the agency to make do with about 100 fewer coal mine
enforcement personnel.
-----In serious criminal cases, the number of guilty pleas and
convictions fell 54.8 percent since 2001.
In the first four years of the Bush administration, the federal
government has averaged 3.5 criminal convictions a year; in the four
years before that the average was 7.75 per year.

Another case of Bush taking credit for the work Clinton did. It has taken 5
years for the mines to degrade to the point where safety has been
compromised.

Snipped the facts and figures that showed King George's complicity in their
deaths, huh?

More false piety and compassion from the right in an attempt to shield King
George from having to take responsibility for his actions.

We do not knoe the proxiamte cause of the accidnet. WE do know that hte
ultmate cause was the neglect oof safety oversight caused by King Geirge;s
catering to the business community and hie budget cuts that evisscerated the

Yeah, he dididn't veto the unconstitutional "campaign finance
reform" bill, he didn't veto the pork laden highway bill, Medicare
Part D is an expensive fiasco. Unfortunately, I don't see the
Democratic Party's stand on any of these issues as a significant
improvement- A. McIntire

If it rains, it's Bush's fault, if a car tire goes flat, It's bush's
fault,
if you mommy yells at you richard for being a complete ***** up, it's
bush's
fault. Find a new play!
Poor baby. You really DIDN'T understand "issuing fewer and smaller major
fines
and collecting less than half"...
You don't under stand the fact that you have to investigate before you make
knee jerk reaction shots.

12 people are dead and the first thing you can do it blame President
Bush.
This was coming from a mine inspector that worked in the CLINTON
ADMINISTRATION!!! Shoulda known, totally unbaised.
Where does it say he worked in the Clinton administration?
Can't you wait til the bodies are in the ground before you shoot your
mouth
off about how this is Bush's fault?
What part of "issuing fewer and smaller major fines and collecting less
than
half" did you not understand????
***** lib! Anything that happens in the world it is bush's fault.

Investigate WHAT, idiot? The article talks about lax enforcement of past infractions,
not the current one.

The first thing you faggots do is blame Bush, it's getting old. You have
no proof that anything Bush did contribitued to the mine disater.
Investigate, find proof and you MIGHT get somewhere. If you cannot do
that, you are going to be a retard homo.

If the home grown senator hadn't gotten legislation passed that required
coal users to control their emissions through costly scrubbers, as opposed
to burning western coal, that is both almost sulfur free, and mined in open
pits, there would be no mine deaths due to cave ins, or explosions in
tunnels .
There would be no tunnel mining of that dirty east coast crap in the first
place.
Another case of legislation to preserve a dying industry, that produces an
inferior product.
An industry that also kills it's workers.
Market manipulation in action.

If the utilities could meet the emission standards by buying the clean

Law requires them to meet the standards by installing stack scrubbers,
therefor there is no incentive to buy the pit mined clean burning coal. This
market manipulation makes the deep mined coal commercially viable, and kills
miners because without this law the mines would not be profitable due to
lack of demand for the high sulfur coal.

Helluva a decision to make, isn;t it?
Lung cancer, emphysema, heart disease, skin cancer for thoudanfs alog with
peeling paint, crumbling stone and mortar, coroded structural metals, and
filth, and a few more dollars profut for utilities, or a healrht public and

Tough choice.
