Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., released the following statement Tuesday in response to news that Judge Robert Chambers has granted Fola Coal an extension that will allow miners to continue work at the Clay County site:

“This is welcome news for the community and welcome news for miners in Clay County.

“For nearly 500 miners facing the prospect of losing their jobs, today’s ruling offers new hope and an opportunity for resolution that does not involve massive job loss.

“As coal remains at the forefront of the legal and regulatory debate, we must continue to stand together on behalf of our miners and our mining communities.”

Capito joined Gov. Joe Manchin and Rep. Nick Rahall in visiting the Clay County mine earlier this month.

WHSV Poll
A committee in the House of Delegates has sent a bill to the House floor that would allow private, faith-based adoption agencies to discriminate against prospective parents based on their sexual orientation. Would you support this?

Yes, I think if it is a private organization it's okay.
No, there should be no discrimination.
It should depend on a case by case basis.
