We elect lawmakers in West Virginia to be good stewards of OUR money and ensure the government is efficiently and transparently serving the needs we cannot meet for ourselves. We need their help with good roads, good schools, job growth … that kind of thing.
What are some working on this session? Nonsensical (and sometimes hateful) pieces of legislation designed to convince people they should be angry and afraid. It would be laughable were it not such a danger.

A group of West Virginia legislators are proposing that the state prohibit its contractors and agencies from promoting what they describe as divisive ideas about race and sex.
Introduced last week, the bill touches on an already raging battle over government-backed training and curricula promoting critical race theory and associated messaging. It shall be the policy of the State of West Virginia not to promote race or sex stereotyping or scapegoating in the workforce, and not to allow grant funds to be used for these purposes, the legislation reads. In addition, state contractors will not be permitted to inculcate such views in their employees.
