GOVERNOR SPEAKS TO JOINT SESSION OF LEGISLATURE

Today on the House floor members were met by the Governor in a rare appearance before both Houses and Senate in a joint meeting in the House chamber. The Governor and Governor’s staff outlined the proposed mine safety legislation which will be reviewed and considered by both Houses before days end.
The Governor speaking first, described the past two mine disasters as a very surreal experience, painting a picture of the similar circumstances and surrounding environment between the two mining locations.
The Governors staff stood for question and offered a more defined presentation of the proposed legislation.
