Unless a way is found to stir up the media or the workers find a way to keep this moving I fear the whole thing will fade into obscurity. That is extremely sad. From a media view, this isn't the hot headline of the day and we are in a very small market for them. We aren't dealing with the first string players. I'm not even sure those who report locally could be the "B" team. If a motivated reporter could get immersed in this and make it national news it could be a career making story. I don't see any indication of that happening currently. From the workers side they need to find a way to keep the media interested and investigating deeper and deeper. That may require someone, or several someones, to put their jobs at risk. Not an easy thing to do or expect someone else to do.

It's a tough call, for sure.

Yahoo, we're finally collecting water! In two rains the tanks are half full and we are already using it to water plants. Thank you to Jt1985 who said he would help with the big projects and he has lived up to his word. All kind of nice things will be happening, so stop in, park, and check it out. There's always something that needs done but it's all about the people doing it. Thank you!

You notice that the Pennsylvania Mountain Lion was right in there helping too!

These workers have a life and families they have to support. They can only say and go so far if they want to keep their jobs. I don't want to hear all about how a union or government laws will protect their livelyhood. If you throw a wrench in the wheel of how things are you will lose your job.

I can tell you that the media that has been covering this has gone as far as they can with the information they have been given so far... They could be pointed in the right direction, but they couldn't report on anything until it was specifically mentioned in the OSHA report. What it will take to keep the media's eyes on it now is someone that was there, someone that knows what happened, and someone that can say what they saw with their own eyes. Second hand information from 1000 miles away only goes so far...
