If you want to keep up with the WV legislature, I would highly recommend the free subscription to “60 Days with Giles Snyder and Dave Mistich."

As the reporters note:

This newsletter is completely free. We came up through public media and believe our work should be available to anyone who stumbles upon it. But if you find value in what we’re doing, we won’t turn away a tip or two.

Among the more important actions today:

Officially, the bill is known as the “Campus Self-Defense Act” and it’s the latest clash in the fight over guns. Generally speaking, the bill would allow the holders of concealed carry permits to carry handguns on campus. . . .

Campus Carry will be on second reading when the House convenes its floor session today, meaning Delegates will be taking a passage vote tomorrow.

Among the other legislation under consideration is this:

The House Government Organization Committee is considering a resolution today making the pepperoni roll the official state food of West Virginia.

Delegate McGeehan's weekend op-ed

Did anybody else try to get through Delegate Pat McGeehan’s opinion piece in the weekend Wheeling News-Register?

The ‘Woke’ Trojan Horse Coming to Our Neighborhood

After reading it twice, I think it was another complaint by McGeehan objecting to the possibility that an alternative energy plant bringing good-paying jobs might be coming to Brooke County. The best response I've seen came from the Twitter parody account, Riley Moore’s Grandfather:

They won't fool me with this woke trojan horse. If some HR rep offered me 65k w/ solid benefits, I'd tell em to shove it because Aristotle said it probably wouldn't make me happy.

I missed my house payment last month, but at least I wasn't spending WOKE money!
