my husband began working in and around the coal industry. Nothing much has changed in spite of everyone trying, and it won't until those with deep pockets no long have power over politicians, whether they are local, state or federal.

Thirty years ago, my husband defected to the environmental side. He's worked diligently since then to get our watersheds back into shape and protected. It has been an uphill battle all the way, and there is still a long long way to go.
