The Legislature, Day 16

As Thursday is Tobacco Free Day at the Legislature, I have reviewed several related measures including some proposed cigarette and tobacco tax hikes (the story is also here).

The AP's Tom Breen continues his coverage of legislation addressing the state's deadly dealings with methadone. The Charleston Gazette also has a story on the bill.

AP also reports on one state senator's approach to the daunting challenge of energy independence.

The Herald-Dispatch in Huntington looks at the emerging debate over regional jail fees, which have drained revenues from Cabell and other counties. (Warning: the H-D page keeps crashing my browsers)
