@WVGovernor Maybe if you'd stop Mountaintop Removal/Surface Mining, you'd have less flooding. Oops. Forgot. WV must appease the coal gods with sacrifices.
@WVGovernor Really? What's your cancer rate in the state? Aren't you the governor who told the WVDEP that the state was now "open for business" and to increase their permitting approval rates? Poisoned water. Poisoned land. Quality of life matters.
@LeaderMcConnell@kentuckyguard And what are you, personally, doing? Anything? Pretty sure you don't like to get your hands dirty or to get real with the people you are supposed to represent.
@SenCapito "Just about everyone" - are you so out of touch with your constituents that you believe that just about everyone earns more than $400,000 a year? THAT's who the tax raise targets.
@SenCapito No it wouldn't. Coal isn't your largest employer and hasn't been for a very long time. The state of WV and it's resident's have not benefitted from coal money either - unless they are the owner/operator of a coal mine (Jim Justice). WV's future lies in change, not in the past.
@LeaderMcConnell Then don't tax middle/low income families. Raise the taxes appropriately on businesses and the RICH (looking at YOU McConnell). And create legislation that makes it illegal to BUY politicians.
My name is Nan Whaley.
I'm a Democrat running to be the first woman elected governor of Ohio.
I want to take down corruption and build an economy that works for all of our families, not just the wealthy and well-connected.

@Sen_JoeManchin Wow. When you're wrong, you're wrong. Buffalo Creek wasn't a *flood* - it was a coal slurry break! So, a *flood* of toxic coal sludge that wiped out a community. Could you kiss the coal industry's ass by sucking any harder?
