Open Meeting, LWV of Wood County: THE FUTURE FUND
With its heavy reliance on natural resources for revenue, WV is one of the least economically diverse states in the nation. Eventually coal and gas resources will be exhausted and/or replaced by cleaner energy sources. Is it time for policymakers to consider establishing a permanent mineral trust fund in West Virginia, the income from which will replace lost revenues in the future and allow the state to progress in a more diversified economy?
