House blocks Byrd mine safety bill after 2010 blast
The Robert C. Byrd Mine Safety Protection Act failed in the U S House with only one Republican backing it. Democrats have continued to push versions of the bill as calls grow for stronger penalties. The measure would make certain mine safety violations felonies with up to five years in prison and up to 1 million in fines, with higher penalties on repeat offenses. Proponents cite the 2010 explosion and want accountability, while opponents have remained largely silent about the prosecution and conviction of Sharon Blankenship.
