This type of thing has been going on for hundreds of years in the hills of WV and KY. Big timber and mineral companies have run over the people there forever. People wise up one job is not worth the rape of the land, figure out ways to make jobs without destroying the land. Read “Night Comes to the Cumberlands”
Interesting use of the words run over, rape, and destroying. For years the people in the hills of WV and KY have earned their lively hood (directly or indirectly) from logging and mining. 89% of the forest in Kentucky is private!
WE ARE 1 OF THE COAL RIVER FLOOD VICTIMS,OF JULY 8TH 2001. I AM SO OUTRAGED THAT A COURT SYSTEM COULD EVEN TAKE THIS MANY YEARS TO DECIDE ON AN ISSUE SO IMPORTANT. WE HAD MAJOR LOSSES ( AT LEAST TO US AS COMMON W0ORKING PEOPLE) THE HOME WE INCURRED LOSS ON WAS A NEW ONLY 13 YRS OLD AND HAD JUST BEEN REMOLDED. HOW CAN THEY SAY OUR LOSSES DO NOT COUNT, WHEN OTHERS DO, WE HAVE BEEN AND STILL NOW EVEN MORE DEVISTATED THAN BEFORE. OUR HOME WAS LIFTED OFF IT’S FOUNDATION, AND WATER CAME THROUGH A NEW HEATING SYSTEM UP THROUGH THE RETURN AND FLOODED OUR HOME COMPLETLEY. WE WORKED ALL OUR LIVES IN WV. AND LIVED IN BOONE AREA 27 YRS. WE KEPT MAKING COMPLINTS OVER & OVER ABOUT THE TIMBER & COAL COMPANIES AND MORE, NOTHING WAS DONE, NOW WE STILL WAIT ALMOST 8 YEARS LATER, FOR A DECISION, WHICH EVEN AT THIS TIME EFFECTS OUR LIVES NO ONE KNOWS HOW MUCH. WE ARE WITH ATTORNEY McGRAW. AS FAR AS I KNOW ALL THE OTHERS WERE PAID FOR THE DAMAGES THESE COMPANIES CAUSED IN SENG CREEK BOONE COUNTY EXCEPT US AND 1 OTHER PERSON. WE FOUND OUT LATER WE SHOULD HAVE CLAIMED A TOTAL LOSS ,INSTEAD OF JUST BEING HONEST AND PUTTING EXACTLY WHAT WE LOST,WE WORKED ALL OUR LIVES TO OBTAIN SOMETHING THAT OVER JUST A PERIOD OF TIME THESE BIG COMPANY’S TOTALY DESTROYED.WE ONLY ASK JUSTICE BE DONE , NOT POLITICS, WE KNOW IF NOTHING COMES OF THIS SUIT NOW,AFTER ELECTIONS ARE OVER WE WILL BE FORGOTTEN. PEOPLE THAT JUST RENTED HOMES THERE GOT FUNDS, WHAT ABOUT THE ONES THAT OWNED THE PROPERTY AND HAD TO CLEAN UP THE MESS AND PUT OUT THE MONEY TO FIX THEM UP. THIS IS UNFAIR, MY HUSBAND WORKED ALL HIS LIFE AS I DID AND WE FEEL SO UNFAIRLY TREATED BY THIS OUR COURT SYSTEM IT IS UNBELIEVEABLE. WHERE IS THE HELP FOR THE HARD WORKING COMMON PERSON. WE WATCHED AS WELFARE PEOPLE GOT HELPAND WE COUL NOT, AND HAVE NOT YET, WE WORK NO HELP, WELFARE PEOPLE HELP GALORE, WHERE IS THE JUSTICE IN THIS. WE NEED AND WANT ANSWERS. NOW NOT ANOTHER 7 OR 8 MORE YEARS OR AFTER ELECTIONS.
IF I MIS-SPELLED ANYTHING IN MY COMMENT PLEASE CORRECT FOR ME IT IS 3 AM AND AM SO ANGRY AS TO THE COURTS RESPONSE TO PEOPLE’S LOSSES IT IS NOT FUNNY. THE SYSTEM SEEMED TO HELP ALL EXCEPT THOSE WHO HAD WORKED ALL THEIR LIVES TO HAVE SOMETHING.
