Description:

On this West Virginia Morning, a desperate attempt to pass a bill that had support from both parties in both chambers came down to the final minutes of the 2026 state Legislative session Saturday night.

Senior Reporter Chris Schulz looks at what happened – and what comes next.

Also, West Virginia is getting an early jump in the race to power the nation’s artificial intelligence (AI) data centers. And, scammers are back at it, this time claiming to represent the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and asking for immediate payment.
