The real injustice that was done to WV and it's not the Clinton"s  ( btw I don't live in WV) was the billions in raw material wealth hauled out of that state and nothing put back. Can you say Don Blankenship and Upper Big Branch?  The Clinton's were condemned for their efforts to get WV's to try to move away from coal and into a more diversified economy because the days of King Coal were coming to an end......And many of those in the audience knew it but were simply too stubborn to accept that reality preferring instead to seek comfort living in the memories of the past.</p></blockquote><p></p>
