This is EXACTLY the approach the DEP Oil & Gas inspectors take with drillers.  They are not there to enforce the regulations, but to assist the drillers in complying.  This may be the most important thing to change.

Friends
 
I think, at this time, it is especially important to listen to Gov Manchin's own words about how he treated violations at coal companies. This is the video and the transcript. Please feel free to send this out to your lists and to media. MLE
Gov. Manchin speaking at the WV Coal Symposium, 2008
"Hey John, you've got a problem here, now before I write you up with a violation, here's what I think you ought to do to fix it. Let's get together, get our people together. I'll come back in a week or a month or whatever the rotation time would be. Then if you've made those changes, tried to make the changes, we're working in the right direction. Rather than going out with a ball bat and a cease and desist order and fines, I'd rather you spend the money to fix what's wrong, try to make it safer, than give the money to government. I guarantee you we won't fix it."

TIME CODE 20:30
Gov. Manchin speaking with Chuck Nelson and Lorelei Scarbo, 10.09
