Tesoro refinery explosion

Priorities aflame when dollars dig in

This is a response to the editorial “Old scrutiny, new fears” [Opinion, April 6].

It is odd how we protected Wall Street when it was down and out, but we cannot seem to protect the working class from being injured or killed when they are performing a dangerous job.

The miners in West Virginia and the refinery workers in Anacortes are lost based on a sad and twisted set of priorities. Money rules.
