We bring you updates on the energy and environment legislation we’ve been following, and we also meet some students who visited the Capitol to participate in the page program for their local lawmakers.
Host Suzanne Higgins speaks with senior reporter Dave Mistich and reporter Emily Allen for the latest news from the West Virginia Legislature.
Also, West Virginia Public Broadcasting’s energy and environment reporter Brittany Patterson joins Higgins and Allen to discuss the latest movement on two bills. One aims to aid distressed water systems in the state (HB 4953), and the other would create a program to further develop solar utilities in West Virginia (SB 583).
