The Latest: Ex-coal Baron Senate Bid: 'slap' For Miner's Dad

LOGAN, W.Va. (AP) — The Latest on the Senate campaign of former coal executive Don Blankenship (all times local): 8:20 p.m. A West Virginia man whose son was killed in the deadliest U.S. mine disaster in four decades says a former coal executive's candidacy for U.S. Senate has brought up some bitter memories for his family. Robert Atkins' 25-year-old son, Jason Atkins, died in the 2010 Upper Big Branch mine explosion that killed 29 men in southern West Virginia. Atkins sat to one side of an auditorium in Logan as Don Blankenship addressed a town hall meeting.
