Robert Byrd: “Stop cutting the Coal Health and Safety Enforcement budget.”

I find this tactic contrary to every Senator's duty to act in good faith.

I cannot fathom how an American business could practice such disgraceful health and safety policies while at the same time boasting about its commitment to safety of its workers.

I have said that, as long as the Senate retains the power to amend and the power of unlimited debate, the liberties of the people will remain secure.

aside from the health and safety laws, what unconventional remedies exist to deal with a rogue mining company that has a reputation for flouting the law?
