On this West Virginia Morning, a camping ban aimed at addressing homelessness in Morgantown is expected to pass next week. As Chris Schulz reports, community members and advocates are speaking up in opposition.

Plus, we hear about the failure of Southern Coal, a company owned by Gov. Jim Justice, to pay for mine safety violations, and how pieces of evidence from past sexual assaults across West Virginia are now being used to identify suspects.
