 Crunch Time Bill Price If you’ve been reading these messages the past few weeks, you’ve seen me write about getting out of our silos and getting involved in all of the anti-water legislation that is moving through the WV Legislature this year.

Time to make an appointment with your legislators to share your concerns about our water and our air and our future. gold-dome www.legis.state.wv.us has all the information you need to contact your delegates and senators.
