On this West Virginia Morning, the Christmas season for many is not all merry and bright but laced with an emotional weight that at times can be overwhelming. Those challenging emotions prompted a Cabell County musician to compose a different kind of Christmas song.
Also, nearly 400 West Virginia children in the foster care system are housed out of state at a significant cost, but Gov. Patrick Morrisey has proposed a solution. And, reported cases of whooping cough are on the rise in West Virginia, and the Monongalia County Commission is facing questions about their use of opioid settlement funds for license plate readers.
