Bait & Switch – Promised Rate Decrease Turns into $96 Million Hike
The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals approved a PSC order that passed on to WV utility customers the $800 million dollar cost of the Harrison power plant. The PSC order upheld by the Court claimed the net impact of the 2013 sale of the Harrison Plant (from one of First Energy’s Ohio holdings to its Mon Power WV subsidiary) would be a $16 million decrease in consumer’s electric rates. One week after getting the Court’s approval, Mon Power now wants to increase its rates by $96 million. More

WV Citizen Action Statement on WV Water Crisis
More than a week after tanks at Freedom Industries leaked 7500 gallons of a toxic chemical 4 Methylcyclohexane Methanol (4 MCHM) into the Elk River, citizens across the region remain at risk of exposure. Why was this disaster allowed to happen and how will we prevent a disaster like this from happening ever again? More

“Taste of Fracking” Comes to Charleston
“Don’t drink, cook or even bathe in the water,” I heard the announcer say on public radio. Not something you hear everyday about your tap water. Charleston and WV Lawmakers, this is a "Taste Of Fracking" right here in the capital city. Ironic that the cause was the coal service industry. Maybe both need better monitoring and regulation? More

Statement from our national USAction Affiliate on Senate Unemployment Vote
Now that Democrats and a handful of Republicans in the Senate have voted to advance a bill to renew unemployment benefits, will the Republican majority in the House kick more than one million unemployed Americans when they are down? Or – at a time when there are still three jobless workers for every job opening – will they respond to the U.S. jobs emergency by letting all House members vote on a clean bill to extend unemployment benefits to millions of families?

Lets keep up the momentum!
I’m inspired this cold, snowing morning to hope for better times in WV with this news article which describes our WV-DHHR’s commonsense (and effective) approach to enrolling as many into Medicaid expansion as fast as possible. We are now number one in the nation on Medicaid and such a positive move makes it possible to imagine many more progressive “wins.” More
