On this episode, the city of Beckley, WV has responded to the matter of a Starbucks looking to set up shop next to The Chocolate Moose and said it's basically out of their hands. Then, I spoke with Shaun Phillips of West Virginians for Energy Freedom who told us a little bit about why our bills are so high, how ApCo is looking for a 13.5% increase ON TOP of the rate now, how you can submit a complaint to the PSC, and how they can possibly connect you with resources to help with the cost. Finally, I spoke with Alexis & JP Marinus of (Owners - Downtown Merchants) about their involvement with the Ripple Project from the Tamarack Foundation for the Arts, how they secured a $10,000 grant for the arts in Bluefield, and how YOU actually have a say in how the money gets spent.
