On this West Virginia Week, employees at a federal prison had an informational picket to protest unsafe working conditions, WVU announced more cuts — this time to library services, groups from Kanawha County are suing the EPA regarding cancer causing chemicals, we learned what we all suspected — historically Black colleges and universities have been underfunded, and a small town classified ad publication is closing its doors following 50 years.
We’ll also hear feature stories on the proposed silica dust rule as more and younger miners get black lung, a rebuttal story to our workforce series from a small business owner and a story regarding the rise of COVID-19 once once more.
News Director Eric Douglas is our host this week.
