To Governor Roy Romer <br />From The Citizens O! Somerset 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 their 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 />This 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 />N~ E 1DDRE68 <br />1) <br />2) <br />3) <br />4) <br />5) <br />6) <br />7) <br />a) <br />9) <br />10 <br />3 <br />
