Guests: W.Va. Del. Erikka Storch, Journalist John W. Miller, Entrepreneurs Brandon and Melissa Holmes
At the beginning of the show, I’ll discuss several recent articles recently published by LEDE News, including the FAKE NEWS series, my Open Letter about an anonymous letter, the opening of a new treatment center in Brilliant, and the sale of a grocery store in South Wheeling.
W.Va. Del. Erikka Storch will give us a call from Charleston where the Republican majorities have proposed several bills that would impact the operation of municipalities across the state – including Wheeling. One example is the $2-per-week User Fee that is paid by employees working in Wheeling and is earmarked for public safety and infrastructure … but some state lawmakers wish to eliminate the system in the Mountain State.
Journalist John W. Miller is the founder of Moundsville.org, a blog website that features not only Marshall County’s largest city but the entire region, as well. John will join me to discuss his recent food tour in the Upper Ohio Valley and what stories he plans to tell in the future.
A new business has opened in Martins Ferry and Brandon and Melissa Holmes will tell us about the process the East Ohio city has in place for other entrepreneurs to do the same this spring and summer.
“Steve Novotney Lives” – 3-5 p.m. on Facebook Live (go to LEDE News Facebook page) and posted on Spotify, PodBean, Youtube, Google Podcasts, and Apple podcast (iTunes).
