Maloney Advocating Mine Safety

{West Virginia}...Morgantown businessman Bill Maloney, second-place finisher in the October 4th race for governor announced plans Friday for a statewide speaking tour advocating mine safety through the Mine Rescue Drilling Fund. Maloney made the announcement on the one-year anniversary of the rescue of the 33 Chilean miners. Maloney played a role in their rescue with drilling equipment. Maloney expects the Mine Rescue Drilling Fund to raise the necessary capital to provide more efficient means to reach trapped miners.  Maloney plans to visit numerous mine-related locations over the next several months to spread the word about being prepared. The Mine Rescue Drilling Fund was established last January and is a not-for-profit foundation.
