On this West Virginia Week, Gov. Patrick Morrisey and Sen. Jim Justice took their oaths of office, and Morrisey wasted no time in signing executive orders and giving a budget outlook. We’ll hear about Huntington’s status as an inclusive community, as well as changing access to books in Tennessee’s prisons. We’ll also explore the past and future of a historic building in Shepherdstown.
Also in this episode, shakeups in the both of the state legislature’s chambers, lawsuits over state money in Ohio and filling vacant Senate seats, and Google weighs in on local power usage.
Chris Schulz is our host this week. Our theme music is by Matt Jackfert.
