Local coal miners and citizens wait in line for admission to the U.S. Senate Subcommitee Hearing on Mountaintop Removal Mining. Approximately 300 of the more than 500 people in attendance for the subcommittee hearing on Senate Bill 696 were southern West Virginia coal miners, industry leaders and local private citizens primarily from Mingo, Logan, Boone and Kanawha counties. They traveled to Washington yesterday as part of the Coal Caravan organized by the Citizens for Coal group. Senate Bill 696, if passed, would ban the practice of Mountaintop Removal Mining nationwide. The Daily News will run a story about the hearing in tomorrow’s edition.
