Opinion

Coal mining industry is vital to W.Va.

The following is a resolution passed recently by the Marion County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors.
On occasion, the Times West Virginian runs guest editorials written by other newspapers or groups other than the newspaper’s editorial board members. Whenever those guest editorials appear, there is always a disclaimer included that says the piece does not necessarily reflect the opinion of our editorial board.....more>>

  • Creation of jobs should be focus
    The Associated Press has reported that more than 2,400 jobs have been saved or created in West Virginia because of federal stimulus funding.
    These figures come from those individuals who have been spending the money.
    But is that really a figure that we are proud of? Let’s examine the figures.
  • State’s efforts to educate about H1N1 prove dedication
    As concerns about H1N1 continue to escalate, officials are working to boost efforts to educate residents about the disease in West Virginia.
    The extra work started Monday when Gov. Joe Manchin announced stepped-up education efforts in the state’s fight against swine flu.
  • Williams saga must be further investigated
    Two years ago a shocking, distressing story was reported in southern West Virginia. A young African-American woman said she had been held captive for days by seven white men and women. They tortured her and sexually assaulted her, the woman said. At least one of them framed his abuse in racist terms, she added.
  • ‘A line has been drawn’ on Fairmont criminal activity
    Safety in our homes and along the streets is something we often take for granted in small-town West Virginia.
  • Condition of roads hot topic
    In polite society, you should limit your conversations to the weather and condition of the roads. You must refrain from speaking of politics and religion, so as not to offend those you speak to.
  • Don’t forget safety while having fun on Halloween
    With origins that date back more than 2,000 years to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain to the current trend of dressing like H1N1 (swine) flu to go trick-or-treating, the traditions that have helped shape Halloween span multiple centuries and cultures.
  • Why consider punitive action in bid to lower health costs?
  • ‘Recovery’ for water customers would be lower rates in future
    The news that the City of Fairmont has been awarded federal funds to fix its water plant couldn’t have come at a better time.
  • Attack on coal can’t be allowed to prevail
    Keep up the pressure. That may be the only way the Obama administration, particularly the Environmental Protection Agency, and certain members of Congress finally get the message that anti-coal policies simply won’t work for West Virginia and much of the nation.
SECTION POLL
Social Security is fading even faster under the weight of the recession, heading for insolvency years sooner than previously expected, the government warned last week.
• Keep the press warm and print that money.
• The retirement age is going to have to go up and benefits must be trimmed.
• Raise the threshold of earnings to be taxed, which is now the first $106,800 of earned income.
