CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) ? Federal prosecutors investigating the West Virginia coal mine explosion that killed 29 men are working their way up the corporate ladder with criminal charges.

On Wednesday, the former superintendent of the Upper Big Branch mine became the highest-ranking company official charged in the 2010 disaster, and he is apparently cooperating with prosecutors, who said the investigation is far from over.

Gary May, 43, was charged with conspiracy to defraud the government, accused among other things of disabling a methane gas monitor, falsifying safety records and using code words to tip off miners underground about surprise inspections.

He could get up to five years in prison if found guilty.

The only other Massey Energy employee prosecuted so far in the nation's deadliest mining disaster in four decades is former mine security chief Hughie Elbert Stover, who will be sentenced next week for lying to investigators and trying to destroy documents.

Prosecutors are urging a federal judge to make an example of Stover by giving him the maximum ? 25 years in prison.

The charges against May were contained in what is known as a federal information, a document that typically signals a defendant is cooperating with prosecutors. Reached at his home Wednesday, May declined to comment.

U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin said his investigation is "absolutely not" finished, but he would not comment further. Prosecutors routinely cut deals with lower-ranking figures to help them build cases against higher-ranking ones.

Clay Mullins, who worked at Upper Big Branch and lost his brother Rex in the blast, said more people deserve to be prosecuted, including former Massey CEO Don Blankenship.

"I want to see some other names," he said. "There were a lot of people involved in this, and I just want to see them be punished for the crimes."

Prosecutors have refused to say whether they are targeting Blankenship, a hard-nosed executive whose company was cited for violations so frequently that union critics accused him of regarding fines as simply the cost of doing business.

Blankenship, once one of the most outspoken leaders in the coal industry, retired months after the explosion and moved away from West Virginia. A telephone number for him could not be found, and he has all but disappeared from public view since the blast.

A United Mine Workers report said Blankenship was among 18 Massey employees who invoked their right against self-incrimination and refused to cooperate with any of the investigations.

Alpha Natural Resources of Bristol, Va., bought Massey and all its operations, including the Upper Big Branch mine, last summer.

Prosecutors have accused Massey of violating a host of safety laws out of a desire to put production and profits first.

Three investigations of the tragedy concluded that the company allowed highly explosive methane and coal dust to build up inside the mine, where it was ignited by a spark from an improperly maintained piece of cutting equipment.

Clogged and broken water sprayers then allowed what could have been just a flare-up to become an epic blast, the investigations found.

Prosecutors said May manipulated the mine ventilation system during inspections to fool safety officials and disabled a methane monitor on a cutting machine a few months before the explosion. It wasn't clear from court papers whether the device was ever fixed.

Although other mine accidents have led to criminal charges, prosecutors have typically targeted low-ranking employees.

"I hope they can go up, and I think they will," said Gary Quarles, whose son Gary Wayne died in the explosion.

Quarles said he was surprised the charges reached so high into the ranks.

"It's about time," he said. "It's a good start."

How payroll tax gridlock in Congress finally came unstuck

A deal to prolong the payroll tax cut has also paved the way for Congress to extend long-term unemployment benefits and the Medicare 'doc fix' to the end of the year.?

A surprise shift by House Republicans to extend a payroll tax cut ? without requiring offsetting spending cuts ? broke an impasse over two other measures now set for votes in the House and Senate on Friday.

Skip to next paragraph

If Congress passes and the president signs this package into law, as expected:

• Americans will no longer see a 2 percent hike in payroll taxes.
• Doctors serving Medicare patients will no longer face a 27 percent drop in reimbursement.
• Long-term jobless workers won?t immediately lose their extended benefits.

All the provisions were set to expire on Feb. 29. In a bid to pay for these features, the unemployed will be eligible for fewer weeks of benefits, beginning in June. Some will face new requirements, such as drug testing, to access them. And new federal hires will be required to pay more for their pensions than current federal workers.?

Until Monday, House Republicans had demanded offsets for the $100 billion cost of extending the 2 percent cut in the Social Security payroll tax, from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent. They said that the payroll tax holiday was not, in fact, a tax cut, because it relied on taxpayer dollars to make up for the uncollected revenues in the Social Security trust fund.

But in the end, the political pressure on House GOP leaders to avoid what would seem to be a tax hike was simply too high.

?The agreement that?s been reached to stop a tax hike on middle class Americans is a fair agreement and one that I support,? said Speaker John Boehner (R) of Ohio, in a briefing with reporters on Thursday.

?But let?s be honest,? he added. ?This is an economic-relief package, not a bill that?s going to grow the economy and create jobs.?

Some Democrats agree that the tax cuts should have been offset by revenues. They want the Bush tax cuts, which expire Dec. 31, to be offset and see a bad precedent in the current deal.?

?By taking this action, we?re saying that tax cuts somehow don?t have to be paid for,? said Sen. Mark Warner (D) of Virginia in a floor speech on Thursday.??We?re advancing a policy that I believe will come back to haunt us later this year when the Bush tax cuts expire.?

Other Democrats?are mounting an 11th-hour protest against extending the Social Security payroll tax cut, saying it undermines Social Security.?The deal mandates that revenue not collected by the Social Security Trust Fund through the payroll tax be replaced out of taxpayer dollars in the US Treasury's General Fund.?

Prospect Heights officials offer voter incentives to approve home rule ...

Prospect Heights officials are offering financial incentives and promising safeguards against tax increases if voters will only pass the home rule referendum item on the March 20 primary ballot.

And to make sure voters know what?s at stake, aldermen voted Monday to spend $16,000 for two months of communications services from Chicago-based consulting firm Serafin & Associates, Inc.?? an effort that could cost another $10,000 of city money for mailings and other communications to residents.

All that comes on top of a series of information meetings planned for various town locations, the first of which was sparsely attended.

In a resolution passed unanimously Monday, aldermen voted to cut taxes and fees, but only if the home rule referendum passes. The deal provides for a 25 percent cut in the existing property tax rate, a $5 cut in the fee for the $70 vehicle sticker, elimination of the $1 mail-in processing fee for stickers, elimination of the fee for tags for animals, and a freeze on garbage and solid waste fees.

All the changes and reductions are contingent on the home rule referendum passing. With passage, the changes in vehicle stickers and animal tags would take effect May 1, 2013. The other changes would go into effect on May 1 of this year.

In Illinois, home rule allows municipalities greater flexibility in establishing taxes, financing municipal operations and spending, using tax revenues and regulating zoning and other issues that might otherwise be subject to state rules.

Mayor Nick Helmer and others have said home rule would allow the city to tap into some existing revenue sources that aren?t available without home rule, in particular the city?s hotel and motel tax. Under state rules, in a non-home rule community like Prospect Heights that money must go to promoting convention business and tourism. Under home rule, the money could go to the city?s general fund to pay for road repairs, police officers and other expenses.

?The only way we?re going to get recurring revenue is through home rule,? Helmer said.

Helmer said the hotel and motel tax could add $350,000 or more per year to the city?s general fund.

This is the city?s third try for home rule status. As in past efforts, some residents have raised fears of hefty increases in property taxes. Prospect Heights taxpayers now pay only a small amount of property tax that goes to pay for police pensions.

To allay those fears officials pledged, if Prospect Heights becomes a home rule community, any new tax would require at least two public meetings and could only pass by a two-thirds majority vote of aldermen, effectively requiring four of five aldermen to vote for any new tax.

The idea of the pledge was brought up Monday by Leonard Digate, a member of the city?s finance committee who has been active at information meetings to make voters aware of the issues around home rule.

The pledge is expected come to the council for a formal vote at the next regular City Council meeting on Feb. 27.

Asked if the city?s efforts to offer incentives and pay for communications about home rule weren?t crossing the line between information and advocacy, Helmer said, ?We can?t go out and say, ?Vote for home rule.? We as a city can only tell you what the benefits of home rule can be.?
