W. Virginia lawmakers to discuss legislation to protect retired miners' benefits

U.S. Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.) and Shelley Moore Capito (R-W. Va.) and Rep. David McKinley (R-W. Va.) will discuss legislation designed to protect the pensions and retiree health benefits of retired coal miners at a Club Newsmaker Wednesday.

The even will take place at 10 a.m. in the Zenger Room and comes a day before 10,000 retired miners and their supporters are scheduled to travel to Washington for a rally outside the U.S. Capitol.

As with all Newsmaker events, this news conference is open to credentialed media and Press Club members, free of charge. No advance registration is required.
