On The Legislature Today, education bills are making their way through committees. Host Andrea Lannom asks House Education Chairman Del. Paul Espinosa to outline some of that legislation as well as touch on issues that might come up at the statehouse this year.
This session’s focus on the opioid epidemic continues – members of the West Virginia Association of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Counselors gathered under the dome. Russ Barber captured their message.
Reporter Roxy Todd brings us the story of one organization tackling a very big problem – the alarming rate of people leaving West Virginia.

West Virginia Public Broadcasting explored this issue last year in our Inside Appalachia series called The Struggle to Stay.

Also, a Hare Krishna community in West Virginia serves vegetarian food made in three sacred kitchens. And, COVID-19 exposed the contempt society has for marginalized people. One author says, these folks are anything but passive.
