On this West Virginia Morning, we learn about efforts to improve an important Appalachian waterway, which reaches 14 different states. The Allegheny Front, a Pittsburgh-based public radio program that covers environmental issues, brings us this report on a cleanup of the Ohio River.
Also in this episode, Congress is weighing cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which connects low-income residents with food benefits. Kentucky Public Radio’s Sylvia Goodman reports on the prospective changes from Appalachian Kentucky, where more than one in five residents rely on those benefits.
