On this West Virginia Morning, the state legislature wrapped up its 2025 regular session at midnight Saturday night, deciding the final fate – for more than 24-hundred bills that were filed, discussed, debated and voted on over the last two months. Maria Young reports on the high profile legislation that passed – and failed –during the session.

And from Inside Appalachia, John Haywood is the proprietor of Parlor Room Art and Tattoo in Whitesburg, Kentucky –a place where some people get inked up and some play traditional music.
