The Legislature, Day 28

Half the session will be over tomorrow, and here are some recent highlights:

* MINE SAFETY. The Associated Press tracks Gov. Joe Manchin's mine safety bill as it advances from the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Charleston Gazette and MetroNews also have stories.

* DRUGS. The Charleston Daily Mail focuses on a bill targeting products that help people mask drug use when tested. Supporters consider it a workplace safety measure.

* TABLE GAMES. The Daily Mail also examines a provision of the racetrack table games bill that would allow the tracks to serve alcohol at all hours, if and when they become full-blown casinos. The AP earlier covered this week's anti-gambling rally at the Capitol, and the Herald-Dispatch of Huntington, MetroNews and the Gazette also have stories.
