The June edition of "The Coal Seam" television show is now running on the West Virginia Library Commission Network as well as public access channels around the state. This edition features a discussion of the economic and social impact of mountaintop mining. Guests include Art Kirkendoll, president of the Logan County Commission, and Roger Horton, president of Citizens for Coal. They joined host Chris Hamilton for a free-ranging discussion of the role mountaintop mining plays in the economy of the southern coalfield counties. This is the fourth episode of the “Coal Seam”, with each one playing for a month, following its original production. The Library Commission’s Network is available on the public access channels throughout West Virginia. Each of the four editions are available on the Association’s webpage at http://www.wvcoal.com. Next month’s edition will continue the discussion of mountain top mining and will feature a discussion of Coalfield Development Bill, passed during the recent special session of the West Virginia Legislature.
