saw the 200 page “compromise”, use compare to see the changes (many unable to see at all bc formatting change), it wasn’t explained to us, and we had to vote on it within 30-45 minutes. The WV legislative budget process is not transparent or easy to understand. It’s on purpose

A special session looms where lawmakers will likely deal with unfinished business – budget-related and otherwise. House Dems asked the governor to leave failed “culture war” bills off the call — and focus on funding the health dept., child care and more. westvirginiawatch.com/2024/04/02/dem…

We have taken in an individual from Ruby Memorial into our hotel program. Our community fund is at zero dollars, and our neighbor has no snap benefits. We would like to secure them some groceries. Please donate if you can.

63 years since the Freedom Riders came to the South, and we’re still arresting folks for peacefully protesting war on college campuses. University Administrators across NC are to blame for the violence against our young people we witnessed this last week across the UNC system.

Newsom is just one of a huge swath of democrats who would rather be beholden to short sighted policy backed by developers who want "clean streets now" rather than investing in solutions that actually solve the problem ie rent control and social housing.

McGeehan here somewhat incredibly identifies the main critique of capitalism in Brave New World (that humans are only inherently as good as the profit they produce) and misses the point entirely to say "elective suicide bad"

This is really important. The consolidation story is not *only* about enrollment decline attributable to vouchers but also about the opportunity cost of investing in that vs. prioritizing fixing the school funding formula for schools that serve vast majority of our state's kids.

The House Finance committee just originated a bill that could eliminate the Medicaid expansion and, with it, health coverage for 166,000 West Virginians without a committee hearing, without notice, without any expert testimony.

This is a really weird way to talk about a bill that takes revenue from county schools and local governments AND takes away their ability to enforce their own rules- basically undermining all the local benefit of landing a data center and leaving only the negative externalities.
