Here at The Hub, we believe that the laws that govern
West Virginia should reflect the values, hopes and ambitions
of the people of West Virginia.
That’s democracy at it’s finest.
So, why don’t you tell us?
What new policies do you want to see introduced
to make WV a better place to live, love and thrive?
Do you want to have a choice in who your internet provider is? That’s a policy change.
Do you want to increase taxes on cigarettes to fund health programs? That’s a policy change.
Got an idea you want to get in front of our decision-makers? Are you willing to round up a posse, get organized and get serious about building a more prosperous state?
Alright then.
Let’s hear it.
