On this West Virginia Week, we have a short show in light of the Thanksgiving holiday. This week, we learned about mental health needs in southern West Virginia, and we heard about efforts to keep state agency emails as lawsuit evidence. 

We also have reports on the Hope Scholarship, renewable energy, conservation and a planned closure of a pharmacy.

Liz McCormick is our host this week. Our theme music is by Matt Jackfert.
