On this West Virginia Morning, we bring you the latest story from The Allegheny Front – a public radio program based in Pittsburgh that reports on environmental issues in the region. In this report, we learn about radioactive materials and other contaminants in solid fracking waste – something that’s also been under scrutiny in West Virginia.
Also, the West Virginia Legislature is still working its way through next fiscal year’s budget, but Gov. Patrick Morrisey wants the body to follow his lead. And, the Senate Education Committee Tuesday advanced a bill to help struggling school districts.
