- {Charleston, West Virginia}...Talks will resume Wednesday at the State Capitol on part of a proposed comprehensive mine safety bill after several hours of negotiations Tuesday produced no compromise on a provision that deals with who can represent family members during future investigations into deadly mine accidents. Governor Earl Ray Tomblin says he thinks family members should be able to choose their own representatives, but those with the coal industry are trying to keep union representatives out of investigations involving accidents at non union mine operations. The disagreement held up the bill that had been on track to pick up approval from the full House of Delegates by Wednesday.
