AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Transmission-line fight: Clarke County supervisors voted to hire special legal counsel to take on the proposed Valley North 765-kilovolt transmission line, setting aside $500,000 and calling it one of the biggest legal battles in the county’s history. Opioid settlement shift: AG J.B. McCuskey says West Virginia will redirect 72.5% of future opioid settlement funds that previously went to the First Foundation directly to the state general revenue for legislative and local distribution. Emergency medical fees: Randolph County commissioners are weighing whether to reimpose a special ambulance service fee after the state Tax Department objected and the Attorney General weighed in. State government & schools: West Virginia Wesleyan will host the Governor’s School for the Arts through 2030, and Secretary of State Kris Warner brought ballots and a voting machine to the State Fair for West Virginia Day civics. Health & safety: A new federal study highlights soaring black lung rates in the U.S. mining hub, while Clarksburg marked overdose awareness with a city proclamation. Sports: WVU women’s soccer snapped a nine-year Penn State winless streak with a 2-1 victory. Energy & weather: NOAA’s fall outlook shows West Virginia has equal chances of a warm, cool, or average fall, and gas prices remain volatile with diesel and E15/E85 deals reported in multiple counties.
