Description:

On The Legislature This Week, the West Virginia Legislature gavels in and Gov. Patrick Morrisey lays out his vision in his State of the State address. We also hear the minority party’s response to the governor’s address.

But lawmakers didn’t wait for the gavel Wednesday to start working. We’ll hear about the legislature’s interest in building nuclear, as well as needed funds for court diversion programs. And we’ll learn about the state of West Virginia’s child welfare system.

Chris Schulz is our host this week. Our theme music is by Matt Jackfert.
