A Primary Recount, An Agency Deficit And Termination Of A Farming Grant, This West Virginia Week

Also, independent audits find potential savings at three state agencies – as well as a critical deficit that could affect struggling families. And, a busy summer is on tap in the capitol city. And, the termination of a federal grant program for first time farmers is leaving some growers – and communities – in a bind.  We also discuss the effects of Hurricane Helene in Appalachia.  Maria Young is our host this week.
