Mine Safety Bill Passes Kentucky Senate
After a series of accidents killed 16 miners in Kentucky in 2006, lawmakers have put a high priority on mine safety bills.
Tuesday, a measure passed by a 37-9 vote in the Senate that requires coal companies to post GPS coordinates at mine sites so medical holicopters can be given precise directions in emergencies.
