Mining money flooded Congress before vote

Sweep­ing mine-safety le­gis­la­tion was pro­posed in the wake of the April 2010 ex­plo­sion at the Up­per Big Branch coal mine in Mont­coal, W.Va. The min­ing in­dustry doubled up on its polit­ic­al con­tri­bu­tions to mem­bers of Con­gress, and an amended bill ul­ti­mately failed by a House vote on Dec. 8, 2010. At least 144 mem­bers who voted against the bill re­ceived min­ing in­dustry money, in­clud­ing two mem­bers who sup­por­ted an earli­er version.

A list of House mem­bers, how much mine-in­dustry money they re­ceived, and how they voted, is be­low. “Yes” votes favored tight­en­ing safety reg­u­la­tions. “No” voters and those who did not vote com­bined to en­sure it did not pass.
