On this West Virginia Morning, the Senate has passed a bill to expand SNAP work and training requirements, with implications for local families in towns like Charles Town and Ranson. While proponents argue this could improve the workforce participation rate in the state, opponents worry about the potential negative impact on struggling families and an increase in bureaucratic oversight. The program's future is closely monitored by community organizations invested in local welfare. The episode also features 'Watermelon Man' by The Headhunters, celebrating the rich musical heritage of the region, as reported by West Virginia Public Broadcasting.
