Neutrality Dispute

Many parts of this article are, seemingly, written in an excessively positive light. Some portions, particularly the "Economic Growth" and "Coal Industry" sections, seem to not be particularly neutral (Coal Mining, in particular, is lauded in a particularly positive way, in this article; there are many negative aspects of coal mining, none of which are mentioned here. If the positive aspects are specifically discussed, then a counterpoint should serve as necessary for encyclopedic purposes.)

Also, it should be noted that balance is needed as to the overly positive light the current County Judge/Executive is placed. One can almost read an inside political operation to promote the Judge/Executive's high opinion of himself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PatriotBoy521 (talk • contribs) 00:40, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

I concur about the coal industry, however, the POV is a 2 way street, assuming that you are correct, you also need to ask, what else,m besides coal, contributed to the growth of the county? IF you find, and you will , that coal was the thing that grew the county, then, IMO, a neutral point of view would state, it was the main growth industry in the county.......As to the politics, that is a thorn in ANY county article, IF the refs given are from a political web site, then I see it, IF presejnted in an unbalanced mannerCoal town guy (talk) 13:56, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
