On this West Virginia Morning, the nonprofit newsroom ProPublica has been reporting on the use of public money to fund private education. Earlier this month, ProPublica published a series of stories about how they, along with Mountain State Spotlight, opened a school in West Virginia. Reporter Jennifer Smith Richards spoke with Chris Schulz about the experience and what it says about modern education.
Also, effective immediately, a 60-day state of emergency is in place to cut the cost of red-dyed diesel fuel.
And, state regulators have given Kentucky Power the go-ahead to build a new cooling tower at its Mitchell coal plant in West Virginia.
Finally, residents of 14 counties will soon be able to apply for a program designed to help fill vacant healthcare positions in rural communities.
West Virginia Morning is a production of West Virginia Public Broadcasting, which is solely responsible for its content.
Support for our news bureaus comes from Shepherd University and Marshall University School of Journalism and Mass Communications.
