Tank Law Dereg bill HB 2598 is being voted on early this week on the WV House floor. It exempts tanks w/brine from fracked oil/nat. gas wells & other hydrocarbon waste from the law! Contact WV policymakers pronto and tell them to vote no!

Today we recognize #WorldCancerDay. Let us all take a moment to celebrate our cancer warriors and survivors, and remember those this cruel disease took from us. We must recommit ourselves to expanding access to cancer-fighting care & double down on our efforts to find a cure.

Sigh. Congratulations, once again, to the luddites in Tobacco Control. You lobbied, lied, and terrorized and achieved your goal: people stopped vaping. And they started smoking again...exactly like we told you they would. https://t.co/wOP6Ykfj1j

@stevenadamswv There's still a few that catch me off guard and I chortle.

West Virginia became the 12th state to accept the bankruptcy reorganization plan from Frontier Communications, even though lawmakers still have concerns whether Frontier can live up to its promises to expand broadband service across the state. https://t.co/fgOya6qXCK

What on Earth did we do to communicate before Twitter and Facebook, which have only been around 12 years (Twitter) and 14 years (when Facebook became available to everyone)? The President has multiple avenues to communicate with the public.

@stevenadamswv Is there a way to see the individual increases in Dem vs Rep? Being fully aware the state would be red, just curious if more Dems came out to vote this election year as opposed to last.

@bigkenny83 @WVGovernor "Stop the scam" says the guy that has a WWF wrestling picture as his banner image. Obviously can't smell a scam even if André the Giant's sweaty jock-strap was thrown on his head and was told it was full of lavender.

Citing cooperation between the Legislature and members of the Board of Public Works, Gov. Jim Justice announced a plan to pull down nearly $1 billion in federal funding for broadband expansion in the most needed parts of the state. https://t.co/ZvfBpOecS3

And another reason why we need solid LOCAL journalism!

Great report about a project and spending on a state project I never knew existed.

What started as a junked car removal program ran by A. James Manchin in the early 1970s is now a multi-million-dollar litter control program.
But the Rehabilitation Environmental Action Plan is in need of a clean-up of its own, according to a new report. https://t.co/wiKW590G0P

Ok folks, today is the last day of the @wtsq881 annual fund drive. We are 85 percent of the way to our $12,000 goal. I’m not always doing news. Sometimes I’m volunteering for WTSQ by producing content or hosting a ska and punk music show. Donate today! https://t.co/9mjB3E7ErN

After six years, an investigation by Attorney General Patrick Morrisey into the federal Drug Enforcement Agency’s role in allowing the opioid crisis to explode in West Virginia has concluded. Morrisey’s Democratic challengers wonder what took so long. https://t.co/a6qZmKCUD1
