I’m learning about elk economics and I have a dumb question already: How do the 13,000 elk in KY know where the state lines are? Will the KY elk eventually join forces (herds?) with the WV elk? Please, if you know about #elk, tell me.
Oh! Our first (reintroduced) elk were Canadian by way of Western KY!
A lot of western elk have chronic wasting disease. But, not AZ, where we paid to have a crew capture 60 elk by helicopter. Sh*t be cray. (BTW, Eastern Energy and EQT paid to have them tricked to WV.)
In early 90s, PA projected $2.3M impact from tourism in just one county. Which county? Elk County, PA!
This is legit the best presentation I’ve seen in a while in this building. Also, room temperature is neither too hot nor too cold. This legislative meeting is a unicorn.

Here’s hoping @WVGovernor will address the looming utility shut-off crisis. People need water—hot water—always, but especially during a pandemic.
WV #utilities have largely (and voluntarily) suspended disconnections, but most were planning to resume them on Oct. 1.
And, as much as I have criticized larger IOUs in the past, it’s really the Governor who can stop thousands from losing access to water, heat, power. Most PSDs and municipal systems can’t bear the lost revenue from an indefinite moratorium. (Even if there’s a mandatory order.)
There is plenty of CARES money to wipe out the arrearages of those who haven’t been able to pay during the COVID crisis, from March until now–and beyond. Hopefully, PSC Chairman Charlotte Lane will stop the utilities from moving forward with shut-offs until the Governor acts.
From the article: Alas, we do not have a system or culture in the United States that would permit a running mate to say, “I am deeply troubled by the allegations persuasively leveled against my running mate, Joe Biden, and wish...
...we didn’t live in a world in which we had to choose between an accused rapist and self-confessed pussy grabber versus an accused harasser who’s now been credibly accused of assault, but this is what white capitalist patriarchy does and I’m actually here to try to change that!”
