Regardless of when their next scheduled inspection is, the governor wants all mines to be inspected as soon as possible. |
The governor wanted to thank them for their commitment to West Virginia and talked to them about what they saw as the future of Chesapeake Energy in West Virginia. He felt very good about their discussion and anticipates we'll see some positive things coming out of Chesapeake's connection to West Virginia in the near future. |
The overall goal of the restoration is not only to preserve the house, but to leave it in as good a condition as possible for the next governor to be able to actually use it as a home for them and their family. If the governor and the first lady had had children (at home), they would not have been able to live there. |
The responsible approach to governing is working well for us and too well for us to start veering off track. |
There was not a grand plan in the beginning. When this all started, we hadn't been there very long. |
There was some type of explosion either heard or felt by the miners attempting to go in the mine for a shift change. They then backtracked out of the mine. |
There was some type of fire in the deep mine. There are two workers that are currently unaccounted for. |
They still have some water in the mine. They're still dealing with conditions in the mine and they hope to be in the mine later this week. |
They turned around and backed out and they realized there were two that weren't with them. The rescue crews are trying to determine their location. |
We are still working with them and support the project. We just couldn't justify giving them money for the bonds. We believe it is still a very good project. |
We are waiting for the investigation to run its course. It's through the investigation we will get the facts about where things can be improved. |
We believed we were operating within the system, but we recognize the confusion of the process. |
We didn't know that peanuts came from Oklahoma, but apparently they do. |
We have been in contact with them and we do understand the challenges they face there. |
We understand that they may be going through a period of restructuring given the original complicated nature of the (resort). We are willing to work with them on those issues. We simply said that the financial responsibilities when it comes to the bond payments lie with the resort. |
