~ 1 <br />To aov~raor Aoy Aomar <br />From TD• Citis~ns of 8omar~~t Colorado <br />we're not the kind of people that do much complaining or get <br />involved in politics. We're hard working folks and we only ask for <br />a fair shake. we're asking you Mr. Governor to help us stop the <br />Bear Coal Company from polluting our beautiful community with black <br />coal dust. <br />Many of us worked at Bear Coal and are now retired. Some of <br />us have black lung disease from the coal dust we inhaled while <br />working in the mines. But, because of Bear's sloppy practice of <br />dumping and hauling its coal on highway 133 we're still breathing <br />coal dust in our homes, town, and our kids who ride the school bus <br />are inhaling coal dust into tY.eir lungs everyday. <br />We can't even open our windows in our homes on a hot summer <br />day there's so much coal dust. Our highway is blackened because of <br />the coal dust and when it rains black water drips from our roofs. <br />'^his threatens the health especially us retirees and it's a real <br />eye sore for tourists who drive through our beautiful valley. <br />Governor Romer, please do all you can to get Bear Coal to <br />straighten out this serious health threat. <br />10) <br /> <br />{, .. ~ L ,,.::.1 <br />i:' ~ - <br /> <br /> <br />11 C ~j ~/ ~/ <br />
