ARCH2 (Dis)engagement Continues to Fail West Virginians
No energy project should develop in our state without meaningful input from community members. Engagement cannot be a closed-off webinar with no questions, commentary, or discussion. Even more, engagement cannot be an afterthought to check the boxes of the simple engagement expected by the DOE and dismiss community concerns. If this concerns you, get involved with our climate program! More

Not-So Special Session Wraps Up Three Weeks Before Election
The governor didn’t get his entire 5% additional cut to the personal income tax but, he did get a 2% reduction. Addressing child care for working families received lip service. A rushed nuclear waste bill passed with lots of questions, and few answers. However, there was some good for our farmers and emergency medical services. Details here. More
