I just want to write a letter to the editor today to voice my support for Abe Alassaf for county treasurer. Abe, though young, I feel would be — like he has been saying — the “honest” choice. His opponent Bill Bias is a career politician who has used his other elected positions to benefit his private-sector employment. Now he wants to be in charge of the county’s money! That is cause for alarm to me, and I feel that anybody who has paid attention to local politics during the past five or six years would feel the same.

In our rush to put blame on politicians for the loss of coal jobs, maybe we need to re-examine some hard economic realities. President Barack Obama has become an easy target, with the coal industry blaming environmental regulations. Issues of clean air aside, let’s take a look at the harsh economic realities, which have a much greater impact on coal jobs.
