Ken Ward Jr. reports that coalfields resident Bo Webb has requested a meeting with Gov. Manchin.
From Webb's e-mail:
I would like to bring a total of no less than 6 people with me. The people I desire to attend are Dr. Ben Stout, Dr, Michael Hendryx, Jack Spadaro, Robert Kennedy Jr., Rory McIlmoil, Judy Bonds, Janet Fout, Vernon Haltom.
I would not object to Bill Raney being in attendance if the Governor so desired. The Governor just last week publicly stated that no one from the environmental side had requested a meeting with him concerning MTR. I am asking.
Optimists hope that Manchin meant what he said when he stated his door was "always open" to those opposed to MTR.
Cynics believe the limited range of ideas in last week's meeting shows Manchin is responsive only to the coal barons.
The request has been made. Now the governor has a chance to prove his critics wrong.
