West Virginia Governor Signs Multiple Bills into Law, Impacting Coal Industry, Education, and Drug Settlement Funds.

West Virginia Governor Jim Justice signed four pro-coal industry bills into law, with the support of the West Virginia Coal Association, at a coal-fired power plant. This comes just days after a United Nations climate panel released a report calling for deep emissions reductions to combat climate change. Justice rejected concerns about the environmental impact of the bills, referring to them as "environmental whatever."
