Nothing changes as long as the political power structure resides in the dying southern portion of the state. But it looks like the gubernatorial candidates are coming from there. Until The northern panhandle, Morgantown area and Eastern Panhandle can get it together and decide they've had enough and exert power and influence of their own this will be the status quo.
There is a candidate from Marshall County, but there is also concern that he might be firmly entrenched in the corrupt system that has held this state back for almost 90 straight years.
Okay... here is the latest. Ohio has announced that this company is going to spend $100 million for the engineering design phase immediately for the cracker facility. If and when the $5.7 billion facility is built, it will bring thousands of construction jobs, hundreds of direct jobs, and many hundreds more of indirect jobs to the Wheeling - Steubenville area.
In the last week OPEC has - for now - managed to come to production quotas with the intent to increase prices. The problem for them is that US now controls prices - all oil prices. As soon as oil closes over 50 bucks a barrel, the fracking and shale industry comes back online and drives the price down once more and there is more oil in the North America than in all of the rest of the world combined according to the latest reports. Cheap oil is here for the short and long term future or at least until a technology replacement comes along.
The US holds all the cards, and lots of jobs, as long as a certain political party and it's followers don't keep trying to screw it up for the entire country.
Glad to hear more jobs and more tax revenue being generated in West Virginia! Hope the increased drilling doesn't trigger small earthquakes in the Northern Panhandle like it did for Oklahoma.
