CARMICHAELS, Feb. 2 – State Rep. Pam Snyder, D-Greene/Fayette/Washington, is encouraging residents of the 50 th Legislative District to participate in a live Tele-Town Hall meeting she is hosting on Thursday, Feb. 8 . Residents of Snyder’s district will receive an automated phone call at their homes at approximately 7 p.m. on Thursday inviting them to join the meeting. To participate, they simply need to stay on the line. “This will be a terrific opportunity for community members to discuss some of the topics that matter most to them, from jobs to health care to issues affecting seniors and children,” Snyder said. “I’m looking forward to hearing from my constituents and taking questions on a wide range of subjects. I hope everyone will stay on the line—even if they don’t want to talk—just to listen and learn more about the issues affecting our community." Snyder said participants will also have a chance to weigh in on poll questions using their touch-tone phones. Anyone who doesn’t have a chance to speak during the Tele-Town Hall will be able to record a question at the end. Questions will be forwarded to Snyder’s office for a future response. Constituents can also email a question before the town hall to townhall@pahouse.net . Residents with cell phones only who wish to participate must register beforehand by visiting this link: https://tthm.wufoo.com/forms/x149jh271ydqkxa . Read more

The recent announcement by Dana Mining of Pennsylvania LLC that it will close its 4 West Mine near Mt. Morris, which employs 370, offers some important insights about the state of our economy and its health moving forward. The Dana decision shows that sometimes, pure economics and not government policy is the driver of such outcomes. News reports put high production costs – including poor geological conditions – and inability to compete with longwall mining at the center of the company’s decision. In this case, Dana officials say it’s other producers of steam coal, not natural gas or renewable energy, that have made it difficult for them to compete. They were mining the smaller Sewickley seam while using continuous mining machines, not removing the thicker Pittsburgh seam with higher-producing longwall mining machines. Coal remains a nonrenewable resource, and while the industry continues providing good-paying jobs that are desperately needed, the costs of extraction can – as in the case of Dana – become prohibitive in a market where you’re competing not just with other forms of energy, but with other coal producers. In 2013, there were just shy of 50,000 underground coal mining jobs in the United States, including about 6,000 in Pennsylvania. This represents a precipitous drop from the nearly 900,000 employed in 1923, and is part of a steady downward trend. We also can’t discount the effects of mechanization, Read more
