"I know Lissa will make a great Delegate and do what's right, not only for her neighbors and her district, but for all of West Virginia."
Mary Ann Claytor has endorsed Lissa Lucas for WV House of Delegates, District 7, in 2018. "We both want to make this state a better place," Claytor explains.
"I truly believe Lissa Lucas is one of the smartest and most principled persons I have ever met. I will help her in any way that I can," Pritt explained.
Is stuff like this headed toward your creek? Into your drinking water source? BE AFRAID. BE VERY AFRAID. Then do something about it. Vote for people, no matter the party, who will make sure West Virginians are not paying for corporate greed and carelessness with their lives and health, or the beauty of their properties.
We could be a state of gurgling trout fishing streams, clean swimming holes, and vast nature and hunting preserves. We have so many hiking, biking, riding, and cross-country skiing opportunities that, given this state's natural beauty, we should be a top vacation destination.

This year, they've wasted time repealing a film tax credit and looking at increasing the speed limit. Also, they want to open state parks to commercial logging. Are these really the things we want our legislators to prioritize right now?!! Of course not.
No longer do Robber Barons need to plunder villages with swords and arms. With regulatory and/or judicial complicity, the extraction industry can jab a siphon into our veins and drain our lives away. They simply appropriate our air and water, and transform them into wealth for themselves. In essence, Extraction Debt is the modern weapon of corporate pillage. Launch it at a community, and watch the fiscal destruction that follows.
