Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes issued the following statement: "I am outraged that Senate Republicans would put the lives of Kentucky miners in danger. Senate Bill 297 is a slap in the face to the hundreds of miners who enter our coal mines everyday and demonstrates a complete lack of respect for the 53 miners who lost their lives in the Commonwealth in the past decade." Coal miner Roy Middleton died May 20, 2006, at Darby Mine No. 1 after an explosion at the mine in Harlan County.
