and this bill and ones like it being introduced are horrendous.

One legislator remarked that in addition to the mechanical safety reviews when inspecting a mine, we need to look at behavioral issues.

Translated: Let's put the emphasis on the miners and how they conduct their job. When there is a disaster, the miners can be blamed for the accident and the owners won't be held accountable.

It's all a scam just like everything else these clowns are attempting to do to us.
