And who pays?

I honestly don't want to come off as a smart-ass here but before you go off half cocked..........The ideas here are all good and many workable too but you need to understand the region and the history. Over the past 50 years there has been god knows how much pumped in through the ARC and others yet progress regarding living conditions and quality of life has been virtually nil. I know. I was part of some of those programs. Yeah, its better now..........but its a lot better elsewhere.   The region is still deep in the grip og King Coal.

May I suggest with all sincerity and true humilty that you read a giant of a book written in 1962 by Harry Caudill called Night Comes to the Cumberlands. When you're done you'll have a much sharper and clearer vision than 20/20, so to speak.
