Description:

On this West Virginia Morning, Connie Jordan Green has been writing most of her life. Before she began publishing poetry, she wrote a gardening column in East Tennessee and novels for young adults. Inside Appalachia producer Bill Lynch spoke with Green about her poems and growing up in a secret city in Tennessee – Oak Ridge.

Also, the House Finance Committee has approved a budget for the consideration of the full chamber. And, under a bill passed by the Senate Health Committee Thursday afternoon, pregnant women could have access to a prescription that might reverse the effects of abortion medication in time to save their pregnancies.
