Legislators Discuss Voting Rights And Todd Rundgren Has Our Song Of The Week, This West Virginia Morning

Listen

On this West Virginia Morning, reporter Curtis Tate speaks with Sen. Richard Lindsay, D-Kanawha, and Sen. Robert Karnes, R-Randolph, about the many election-related bills introduced this legislative session.

Also, in this show, Todd Rundgren has our Mountain Stage Song of the Week with his arrangement of his popular song, “Can We Still Be Friends.”

Additionally, proposed legislation could help working, low-income West Virginians get affordable health coverage.

A proposal in the U.S. Senate would suspend the federal gasoline tax for the rest of the year, but not everyone is on board.

And the House Education Committee approved a resolution late Thursday afternoon that would require people running for their local boards of education to list their party affiliation during elections.
