On this West Virginia Morning, it has been three years since the East Palestine train derailment. What have we learned about the health impacts from exposure to chemicals on board? The Allegheny Front, a public radio program based in Pittsburgh, brings us this report.
Also, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, working with state and local law enforcement partners, arrested 650 people in West Virginia over 14 days last month.
And, state lawmakers are grappling with how best to legislate the growing issue of school discipline, and eight historic sites across West Virginia have been added to the National Register of Historic Places, including a hospital for Black coal miners.
