Coalfields Expressway needs built

As a lifetime resident of southwest virginia, besides my time away for college, I know what it is to live in the area without great transportation. The nearest interstate highway is a hour and a half away. I do hate to see these mountains destroyed, but I see the benefit of the road to the area to open new jobs besides coal mining and natural gas.

Two fallacies in your point Pure:

One, this editorial, seeking highway spending, was handed down by the Ogden overlords who backed only REPUB causes during the 2012 election cycle: ****campaignmoney. com/advanced.asp?pg=1&searchtype=contributors&cycle1=12&lname=&fname=&work=&occup=ogden&zipcodes=&fdate=&tdate=&state=WV&cycle2=12&cmtetype=&cmtename=&cmteorg=&igc=&cmteparty=&cycle3=12&cndoffice=&cndtype=&cndlname=&cndfname=&cndstate=&cndparty=&orderby=&reccnt=15&recamt=32500

Two, the only 'liberal' group mentioned in the editorial, the Sierra Club, opposes the project and thus, oppose the spending on its construction.

Care to clarify how these facts differ from your stated opinion?

Have you noticed that liberal Democrats always want to spend money they don't have? This country is about to go broke, and their solution in spend more money we don't have. You can't trust a Democrat with your money because their solution is to spend your way out of debt, and we all know that doesn't work.

GeeWhizz, why tear up WV building more roads...we can't finish "H" now? Why not use railroad cars that will haul tons and tons of coal and the tracks are already built! Lets keep the nail head low and move our coal via rail where its cheaper, faster and safer! Building another road is not the answer!
