Several accidents within a matter of weeks has prompted an investigation and review of existing federal laws by congress regarding coal mines. Some say that more regulations are needed to ensure the safety of the miners. Others contend that this job is dangerous regardless of the number of regulations that are enacted. West Virginia Governor Manchin is expected to introduce legislation into the state legislature on Monday and then fly to Washington and meet with the West Virginia congressional delegation to push for more regulation. The investigations into the current accidents are likely to take weeks if not months in order to provide specific recommendations to the appropriate agencies and public officials.
