Yup, inspectors will find things. Nature of the beast. Companies will get dinged and fined. No surprise there. Even companies that work hard to get things right. Standard Operating Practice. And so, nearly every company could be tagged with that "......troubled past with regulators." And I could imagine news organizations misrepresenting stuff. Granted. But......

There are companies who have figured out that it's cheaper to ignore safety regulations, emphasize production at any human cost, and just hire a team of lawyers to fight the regulatory agency. Or pay off the regulators. Profits soar. Massey Energy is one of those companies and that is why those West Virginia families are without fathers and husbands today. In my humble opinion, that company's CEO should go to jail. Along with a hundred others. For starters.
