U.S. Attorney's Office seeks payment of $579,041 in MSHA penalties from Governor Jim Justice's family companies.

U.S. Attorney's Office targets Governor Jim Justice's family-owned companies, including Southern Coal Corp., for non-payment of $579,041 in Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) penalties. Companies must prove their inability to pay or declare bankruptcy, as the U.S. Attorney's Office rejects their financial difficulties claim. The companies had previously agreed to pay $5.1 million in installments, but have not made the full payment.
