On The Legislature This Week, we hear from reporters Randy Yohe and Chris Schulz, as well as Assistant News Director Maria Young as they discuss what they’re watching to cross the finish line as we near the close of session March 14. We also get a look from a West Virginia University (WVU) student reporter at an attempt to better protect first responders.

We’ll hear the latest on student athlete transfers in state schools as the legislature moves to repeal its own rule change from 2023. And we’ll get a look at the state’s final budget and this year’s income tax cut.

Chris Schulz is our host. Our theme music is by Matt Jackfert.
