Billionaires are starving the world
Over 71 million Americans are paid less than a living wage, and are forced into social safety nets like SNAP.
If you think too many people are receiving SNAP benefits, don’t shame them.
Shame their employers paying them poverty wages and forcing taxpayers to subsidize the rest.

Apparently, the only "elevated enforcement actions" that WVDEP intends to take is to threaten elevated enforcement actions. This is just one of many violations that WVDEP keeps extending for Lexington Coal Company, months beyond the 90-day limit. #EndMountainTopRemoval #EnvironmentalJustice

Seems like someone doesn’t want the citizens to see how the gears of power are getting greased.
A bill to make lobbyist pay and perks public, stop political donations, and require real-time reports died in the state Senate, sent to a Rules Committee on the final day without debate.

State elected officials killed multiple ethics bills targeting more transparency in lobbying
Lawmakers and the governor killed ethics bills that would have made lobbyists’ pay public and banned nepotism in state offices.
