To the Editor:
I hope the Concerned Citizens want jobs to come to this county. Rosebud will provide some jobs for people who reside in the county and the miners who come here with experience will teach the ones who get hired from here and they will live here and pay taxes to the county.

If you are concerned about your water supply, you should not have sold your coal rights. A note here: They were originally sold to Consol Coal back in the sixties. Then they were sold recently to Rosebud by Consol. If you are worried about subsidence, it only occurs if the miners are reducing the size of the pillars that support the roof and they will notify you if that happens.

I was born and raised in a coal and coke region of western Pennsylvania and there I lived in an area that was mined out and never collapsed.
In ending this letter, I would hope all of those Concerned Citizens will vote for the next school levy.
