CHARLESTON, W.Va. — W.Va. House of Delegates Minority Whip Mike Caputo (D-Marion) on the Bipartisan American Miners Act:
“I am relieved and grateful that Senator Manchin, Senator Capito and West Virginia’s House delegation were able to secure a bipartisan agreement that protects lifetime healthcare benefits and pensions for thousands of coal miners in West Virginia and throughout the country. I would also like to thank the leadership of President Cecil Roberts, Secretary-Treasurer Levi Allen and the UMWA rank-and-file-miners who have spent countless days on Capitol Hill urging our government to keep the promise of cradle-to-grave healthcare and pensions for coal miners and their spouses.”
