• 2:39
  Speaker 2: you know a Millie?
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: I'm doing so well. How are you?
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I am doing fine. Thank you for being here.
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: Chris.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Do you like this weather? Are you a fall winter.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: The fall person? I love it? Yeah, and yes, I so.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: I didn't like summer. You know, usually I'm a sun worshiper.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: I could not stand the heat this summer. Really, it
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: was just too oppressive.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I wonder what is different about the heat this summer
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: is supposed to in the past.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: I wish I could discuss it where I actually know
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: what I'm talking about. I got you, but it was
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: just very it was just too hot to be outside.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: See.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I'm a fan of the what I would call the
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: transition time. I love spring, uh and I love fall.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: But in this last couple of weeks, I mean, we
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: had some rain and whatnot, which we needed, but the uh,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: but the colors are absolutely fantastic right now. I think
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: last weekends, what they said for most areas West Virginia
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: was the peak time in West Virginia. But getting up
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: this morning and it was a full moon last night,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: and uh, I'm not one that really gets into all
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: that stuff that much, but I get up this morning
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: and I look out and it's a full moon and
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: leaves around the trees, and I love it. I just
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: love this time. But here now week and half from now,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: I'll be over it because it's leaves will start to fall.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: And but then we start thinking about Thanksgiving.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: So well, I had a wonderful time setting my clocks
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: back on Saturday. I was just busier than to be
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: made sure I did it right, right right. I enjoyed that.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I you know, I said this before.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: I'm not I'm really not a fan of daylight savings.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, well I think I just don't.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't need it. I just I
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: just don't like it. But I do it. I have
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: to do it if I want to stay in time
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: with everybody. Yeah, but it's not a favorite. It's not
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: a favorite exercise.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'll be And it's they're making it easier
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: and easier now because you know, well, I mean, because
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: so many of your things, like your phones and things
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: of that nature update automatically. My wife and I have
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: two vehicles. I have an older vehicle. Mine is not
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: update automatically. Hers does so, so we didn't have to
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: change clocks in her vehicle, but we did in mind.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: So I just, I guess and I explained this to
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: the listeners earlier. MILLI I did morning radio, I mean
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: really morning radio.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: But three o'clock in the morning.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Got up at three a m. For over twenty years. Uh,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: and so it was dark when I left the house,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: it was dark when I came home, you know, at night.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: And I guess that just kind of trained me to say, yeah, whatever.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: I just you never even got up when the roosters
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: got up. You were up before that.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: At woke the rooster up. That's why I had to
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: call the rooster to wake him up. That's part of
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: morning radio. But Millie Snyder is here and I'm having
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: you on a little bit earlier than what we normally do.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: We have we come on with us once a month
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: because you got something going on that you wanted to
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: tell people about, and you mentioned it last time. But
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: the time is nigh, as they say, and people don't
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: use the word nigh enough in our daily vocabulary.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: But go ahead, well, tomorrow we're having open meetings at
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church. It's sixteen hundred Canall Boulevard at
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: Elizabeth Street. It's a wonderful location. And why we're having
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: open meetings is it is my wish to introduce as
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: many people as possible to this incredible way of eating,
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: the Mediterranean lifestyle. And by the way, I didn't write it,
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: but my goodness, I follow it, I live it, and
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: I love it. And I even said that in the
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: commercial that's running on your station, because I'm very happy
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: and proud to say that I just celebrated my eighty
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: third birthday and most people when age becomes a topic.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: No one believes that I'm eighty three. I work and
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: do stuff and I don't work per se. But I
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: don't know where my energy comes from. But it has
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: to do with my quality of eating, and I'm grateful
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: for that, and I want more and more people to
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: find out that it's time to stop dieting. It's time
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: to stop counting calories. And if you're still counting calories,
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: your math skills have probably improved, but you're not learning
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: anything in terms of what to eat. And at an
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: open meeting, we'll tell you everything. We'll give you some information.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: The early one is at ten am and the later
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: one is at five point thirty. There's no charge to
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: come to an open meeting. If you decide to join,
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: then there is a fee for joining, and there's a
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: weekly fee. But I'm happy to say from the beginning,
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: and I've been teaching Mediterranean now for nine years, the
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: prices remain the same. It's not about making money. It's
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: about an outreach to help people help themselves. And when
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: I can accomplish that, I feel like I've done something
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: significant because I can't lose anybody's wait for them, as
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: no one can do that for me. I want to
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: empower you with the information so that you can order
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: differently in a restaurant, eat and shop the way you
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: have to for the betterment of your life. And thank
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: you for this article. We talked about it when I
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: was on two weeks ago. Here is a woman who
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: made it to one hundred and seventeen, and the whole
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: article is about the fact that and enjoyed good health
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: up to one hundred and seventeen. That's pretty remarkable. It
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: is pretty remarkable, and they're going to be There be
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: so many people who are going to weigh in around
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: getting to that age. They don't want to, but you know,
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: that's one thing we don't control. The point of this
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: is that it strengthens your longevity, and that is strengthened
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: by a quality of your health. And your equality of
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: your health is based on what you put in your
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: mouth and how you eat on a day to day basis.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Talking to Millie Snyder again a Dave Allen Show and
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: five of Any Life is brought to you parted by
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Pinnacle Consultants. The services involved developing comprehensive management plans, downline
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: strategies for controlling and minimizing as best as exposure perfect
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: for commercial property owners and managers. Check out Pinnacle Corp
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: dot net because what you don't know can hurt you.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Now that article, you and I talked about it last
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: time and I brought it in for you. It was
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: from the Wall Street Journal from a couple of weeks ago,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: and it was about a woman who lived to be
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: one hundred and seventeen. And what I thought was interesting
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: about her story, in addition to the fact that she
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: lived to be one hundred and seventeen, was the fact
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: that for the last and I forget you've got the
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: article in front of the Africa, but I was like,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: the last twenty or thirty years or so, she had
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: allowed medical professionals to study her. And you know she's
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: because they obviously somebody lives to be you know, that
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: age and in good health up until the last year
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: of her life. She wanted to help others and she said, well,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: and the medical professionals just said, hey, can we study you.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Can we see what it is that you did. Now
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: that's not to say if you do exactly the same
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: thing this woman did, that you're going to live to
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: be that long, because there's a lot of other factors
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: that don't have to do with eating.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: Don't know about her gene pool.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Exactly exactly right, but she because of where she lived,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: it would be like I say, we've practiced the American diet, okay,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: just because this is where we live. She that's what
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: that's the way people. It was Spain, right, that's primarily
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: where she lived was indent.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: There are many areas in that part of the world
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: that lived the blue zone, and the blue zone is
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: eating clean, fresh food, which is called the Mediterranean lifestyle,
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: plus socializing and having activity. But also they do not
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: buy processed food because none of it exists there. They
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: have to go to the market every couple of days.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: They don't have ginormous freezers, refrigerators and so forth, so
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: they have to get fresh food and that becomes its
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: own way of life. We can do that here in
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: our United States. When you go to the supermarket, you
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: need to stay out of the middle aisles because that's
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: where all the processed food lives. We need to shop
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: the perimeter of the supermarket because that's where fresh food is.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: And then we need to learn how to read labels.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: Our food producers are putting things in our food to
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: make it live much longer than it was intended to live.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: And our body doesn't know how to handle those preservatives,
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: the chemicals that stretch the life of food, and that
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: causes health problems. We need to do better for ourselves.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: It's not what you know, Dave, it's what you do
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: with what you know. You know, you know, and I
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: really believe that, and a little bit of information, and
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: also coming to a group where you see other people
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: doing the same thing is very inspiring. And on the
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: subject of being inspired, and I'll try to make this
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: as short as possible. I didn't want to join weight Watchers,
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: and I did because I was forced to join. It
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: was the best thing I ever did in my life
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: because it not only helped me lose weight, but it
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: educated me and so many people know what happened. I
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: was fortunate to come to West Virginia to make Charleston
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: my home, and I did weight Watchers in West Virginia
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: for forty seven years. But in the early years, my
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: leader at weight Watchers invited my then husband, Harvey, and
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: I to go to Wilmington, Delaware to hear Gene Knightich speak.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: And Gene Knightich was the woman who was the founder
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: the creator of weight Watchers. And it was in that
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: auditorium as I sat and listened to her, I was
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: so awestruck. I knew then that that's what I wanted
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: to do as my life's mission, and I prayed that
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: I would be as good as her, and I hope
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: that I have achieved that goal, because what I really
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: do is help people help themselves. I like to add
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: some humor and learning how to laugh at ourself in
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: a kind and giving way, which allows us to continue.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: And so group support makes a big difference. And that's
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: why we want people to experience not only an open meeting,
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: but come on board for either a morning or an
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: evening session. And there are some wonderful people in the group.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: Actually they're like everybody else. They're just eating a healthy
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: way the Mediterranean lifestyle.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Tex says, listen to Millie, stop eating all this junk, sugar, salt,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: fried stuff that's out there. I have liver disease. And
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: they're finding out that most people who are overweight due
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: because we eat so much junk. Amen, And you didn't
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: you didn't text that yourself. I'll bet watching it you
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: didn't text. But all right, give us the details on
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: the meetings tomorrow again the meetings, and of course open house,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I should say, it's not like open house. What do
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: you want to call it?
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: Ten o'clock in the morning and five point thirty in
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: the evening. Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church right on the boulevard,
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: Right on the boulevard at Elizabeth Street, easy to find.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: They have a wonderful parking lot. It's not going to
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: be a contest to park the car. And you don't
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: have to park in Dunbar and then walk over.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: And how long will the approximately how long will the
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: meetings last? In case people are planning their schedules or
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: they're coming.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: From work, probably the actual informational part will be about
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: thirty forty minutes.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: You can't beat that, yeah, I mean, and there's no charge.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: And if you walk in and you say, hey, I
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: don't think this is for me, then no harm, no
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: fould Thank you.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: For coming, and we're going to give you some information.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: You can take it home and think about it. If
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: you don't want to put it into use, that's okay too,
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: because fortunately we live in a free country and we
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: can make our own decisions.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Millie, good luck with everything tomorrow. We'll talk to you

  Speaker 4: the additives to it. And I would love to have

• 15:39
  Speaker 4: very important, and when we give them some additives in
• 15:44

• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Welcome to the show. Good morning, Dave, thanks for having me,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Thank you for being here. Let's get right to it.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: The Commission has gone on record as formally opposing the
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: proposed rat increase from Mountaineer Gas. Now other lance, other
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: than the fact that no one likes to pay more
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: in out of their checkbook and their bills, we get that.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Why the need to go on record to oppose this.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: What's the reason?
• 18:51
  Speaker 8: Well, I think that we're getting a lot of constituents
• 18:53
  Speaker 8: calling into our office as elected officials, complaining that the
• 18:58
  Speaker 8: rates continue to go up and up and up, and
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: they feel that they don't have the proper representation as
• 19:04
  Speaker 8: a consumer advuracy from the PS that's supporting their position,
• 19:08
  Speaker 8: and that position is we keep paying and paying and paying,
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: But why are we keep paying more money in our utilities?
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: This is something that we can't afford. Our utility rates
• 19:17
  Speaker 8: are going up, inflation is going up. Things are more
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: and more expensive. It's time that somebody, and what that
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: somebody is is the Kennall County Commission is fighting for
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: the people of the state of West Virginia, not just
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: Kennall County, but everyone here in the state of West
• 19:32
  Speaker 8: Virginia and telling the PSC that they need to absolutely
• 19:36
  Speaker 8: oppose and reject this rate hike from Mountaineer Gas.
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: What kind of.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Increases are we talking about, dollar wise, percentage wise, whoever
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: you want to quantify it. I mean, what kind of
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: rates are we talking about going up here?
• 19:47
  Speaker 8: Well, Mountaineer Gas has asked the PSC to raise our
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: rates fifteen to twenty percent more than what you're paying now. Now,
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: the Knaal County Commission, we look back in the data
• 19:56
  Speaker 8: and we've noticed that since twenty twenty, Mountaineer Gas has
• 20:00
  Speaker 8: had a twenty eight percent increase on your bill. So
• 20:03
  Speaker 8: now we're talking about an extra almost twenty percent on
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: top of that. This is getting out of hand. Enough
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: is enough? I think that the voters, the constituents, the
• 20:12
  Speaker 8: citizens of West Virginia are getting rate hike fatigue, and
• 20:15
  Speaker 8: we're asking the question, when is enough? I think this
• 20:19
  Speaker 8: is something that the PSC needs to absolutely oppose and
• 20:22
  Speaker 8: fight for the people of West Present that they represent
• 20:25
  Speaker 8: and telling the Mountaineer Gas that you're going to have
• 20:28
  Speaker 8: to find in your own budget any of these this
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: difference that you're coming to us because it's we're tired
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: of putting this on the backs of the citizens of
• 20:37
  Speaker 8: West Virginia and their utility bills.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: And look, you talk about utility rates and we have
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: the same discussion. We're talking about mounting their gas right now,
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: but we can just easily be talking about any of
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: the other utilities as well. I mean, they keep they
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: keep going up. And look, I understand cost of cost
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: of doing business. You know, I one hundred percent get that.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: I'm a free market capitalist. Everybody knows that about me. However,
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: when the in many cases, and I'm not specifically picking
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: on Mountaineer Gas here because this may not apply to them,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: but in many cases, when the the rates that are
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: going up are are so much higher than what many
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: people like yourself, like other advocacy groups have said that
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: they should be therein.
• 21:18
  Speaker 8: Lies the problem, Well, I think we're allows. The problem
• 21:21
  Speaker 8: right now is the Public Service Commission the PSC. I
• 21:24
  Speaker 8: think the voters, the citizens of West Virginia have lost
• 21:28
  Speaker 8: trust in they, you know, supporting and being an advocate
• 21:34
  Speaker 8: for them when it comes to utility companies asking for
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: a race. I think that what we need to do
• 21:39
  Speaker 8: is we need to have the PSC take accountability and
• 21:43
  Speaker 8: bring that trust back to the people of West Virginia
• 21:46
  Speaker 8: and ensuring that yes, there are market changes, there are
• 21:48
  Speaker 8: times where increases are necessary so that we can have
• 21:52
  Speaker 8: the infrastructure with our utilities, so that we can continue
• 21:55
  Speaker 8: to build on the energy grid here in in West Virginia.
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: But we need to do everything we possibly can to
• 22:03
  Speaker 8: put the trush back in. And that's why I'm actually
• 22:05
  Speaker 8: asking the state to look at reforming for the Public
• 22:08
  Speaker 8: Service Commission and looking at how other states are doing
• 22:12
  Speaker 8: this on regulation. You know, we look at other states
• 22:14
  Speaker 8: and per capita of their increases and utilities are nowhere
• 22:18
  Speaker 8: close to the increases that the people of West Virginia
• 22:21
  Speaker 8: are being affected by. So we need to have real reform.
• 22:24
  Speaker 8: We need to really look into why these increases are necessary,
• 22:28
  Speaker 8: and we need to say enough is enough. We need
• 22:31
  Speaker 8: to have people join the Kanaal County Commission, join my
• 22:33
  Speaker 8: office and telling the PSC that Mountaineer Gas needs to
• 22:37
  Speaker 8: be rejected for this new proposal of almost twenty percent
• 22:40
  Speaker 8: increase on their bills.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: And then the formal request, if you will, that you
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: put out there of the knagh County Commission put out there.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: You talked about the profits that have been made.
• 22:49
  Speaker 8: You know, that's one thing that we need to really
• 22:52
  Speaker 8: consider is we looked at back, and we've seen that
• 22:55
  Speaker 8: the from the Public Service Commission that Mountaineer Gas is
• 22:58
  Speaker 8: seeking a reprooval for forty four million in additional revenue.
• 23:04
  Speaker 8: But they've had increased profits of up to eleven point
• 23:06
  Speaker 8: four million in twenty twenty three to fourteen point three
• 23:09
  Speaker 8: million in twenty twenty four. These are this is data
• 23:12
  Speaker 8: that has provided publicly that Mountaineer Gas is having an
• 23:16
  Speaker 8: increase in profits. However, they're coming back to the people
• 23:19
  Speaker 8: of West Virginia and requesting that they pay more. Why
• 23:23
  Speaker 8: aren't these questions being publicly discussed. Why aren't the Why
• 23:27
  Speaker 8: aren't we looking at is this increase necessary for Mountaineer
• 23:32
  Speaker 8: Gas to continue to operate in their infrastructure or is
• 23:35
  Speaker 8: this just a way for them to continue to protect
• 23:38
  Speaker 8: their pockets and looking at how they can continue their revenues.
• 23:42
  Speaker 8: Why can't Mountaineer Gas from this increase that they're saying
• 23:45
  Speaker 8: is so necessary. Why can't they foot a little bit
• 23:47
  Speaker 8: of the bill instead of passing it on to the
• 23:50
  Speaker 8: citizens of West Virginia. Those are the questions that we're asking.
• 23:53
  Speaker 8: And again, I think this is coming down to when
• 23:55
  Speaker 8: I talk to people here in Kannall County in the
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: state of West Virginia. They've lost the trust in the
• 24:00
  Speaker 8: PSC and that's why we're asking everyone to join the
• 24:02
  Speaker 8: Kannak County Commission in opposing this rate hike from Mountaineer Gas.
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: And by doing so, you can call the West Virginia
• 24:11
  Speaker 8: Public Service Commission at their phone number three O four
• 24:14
  Speaker 8: three four zero zero three zero zero and tell them
• 24:18
  Speaker 8: that you stand with Commissioner Wheeler, Commissioner Slango, and Commissioner
• 24:21
  Speaker 8: Tenant and that you oppose the rate hike by Mountaineer Gas.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Give us that number again.
• 24:25
  Speaker 8: That number is three oh four three four zero zero
• 24:28
  Speaker 8: three zero zero.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, we're talking to Kennaw County commission Or Lance Wheeler.

• 24:53
  Speaker 2: starts here and I do want to state for the
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: record from our part that, well, you don't want to
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: necessarily think that we are, you know, take it on
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Mountaineer Gas. If anybody from the from the company would
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: like to come on this show, They're more than welcome
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: to come on. I mean I would. I would love
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: to have them on the show to explain it, to
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: give their side. And in all fairness, have you had
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: any conversation directly with the company, You or the other
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: commissioners had conversation directly with the company.
• 25:17
  Speaker 8: In the prior years. Yes, And you know, I want
• 25:19
  Speaker 8: to say that as well. I'm not picking on Mountaineer
• 25:22
  Speaker 8: Gas there. What I'm picking on is the system that
• 25:25
  Speaker 8: we have here in Kennall County for an agency to
• 25:29
  Speaker 8: protect the consumers and ensuring that their bills are not
• 25:34
  Speaker 8: going up without you know, it's unreasonable from a company.
• 25:39
  Speaker 8: And I think that we really need to overhaul the
• 25:42
  Speaker 8: system of how we protect our citizens and making sure
• 25:46
  Speaker 8: that their bills aren't going up and up and up.
• 25:48
  Speaker 8: That are unreasonable. So I think that's really what we
• 25:50
  Speaker 8: need to look at. We need to look at transparency.
• 25:53
  Speaker 8: We need to have it to where families deserve fairness
• 25:55
  Speaker 8: transparency from their utility providers and not have another rate
• 25:58
  Speaker 8: hike with that while companies are reporting profits. I think
• 26:03
  Speaker 8: this is something that we have to have discussions. We
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: have to have open discussions, and we really need just
• 26:08
  Speaker 8: to look at the system and realize how broken it
• 26:11
  Speaker 8: might be here in West Virginia and compare it to
• 26:13
  Speaker 8: how other states are doing it, and maybe take on
• 26:15
  Speaker 8: some of those policies.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: I don't want to, as I said, and we'll offer
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: equal air time for anybody from out in their gas
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: once come on to talk about it, But I obviously
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: don't want to sound like I'm a spokesperson for them.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: But one when it comes to these utility rate hikes,
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: no matter what the utility is, one of the things
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: that you normally hear is the cost of doing business
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: and infrastructure. We have an aging state from not only
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: the people, but also from the infrastructure standpoint, and we've
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: seen numerous breakdowns along the line, and so that's probably
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm going to say, that's probably one of
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: the things that they're going to say, is, look, we
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: got an aging infrastructure system. Things like your car, your
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: house or whatever is they get little age on it.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: They don't perform like they used to. If that is
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: their argument, you would say, what, commissioner.
• 26:55
  Speaker 8: They're reporting profits from twenty twenty three to twenty twenty
• 26:57
  Speaker 8: four that are increasing. The question that's come down to
• 27:01
  Speaker 8: is why is it necessary that we take these aging
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: infrastructure which they've had the responsibility of fixing in the
• 27:07
  Speaker 8: first place. Why is it the cost of this aging
• 27:10
  Speaker 8: infrastructure and providing this service of operation and maintenance. Why
• 27:13
  Speaker 8: are we fotting that bill one hundred percent on the
• 27:16
  Speaker 8: backs of the consumers, the citizens of West Virginia. The
• 27:21
  Speaker 8: question needs to really come down to is why is
• 27:25
  Speaker 8: it that these revenues continue to increase but that can't
• 27:29
  Speaker 8: be used for these proposed price increases. Whether it's the
• 27:33
  Speaker 8: natural gas going up. You know, I looked at the
• 27:36
  Speaker 8: numbers the other day and now might be wrong because
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: I'm not an expert, but natural gas is getting cheaper
• 27:40
  Speaker 8: and cheaper. You know, it's actually going down right now.
• 27:43
  Speaker 8: But they're saying that they need to increase your rates
• 27:45
  Speaker 8: and have you pay more because natural gas is more expensive.
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: You know, I don't know those details, but that's the
• 27:50
  Speaker 8: job of the PSC. The PC is there to ask questions,
• 27:54
  Speaker 8: and unfortunately we have a public of people here in
• 27:58
  Speaker 8: West Virginia who've lost their trust in the PSC. You
• 28:01
  Speaker 8: talk to anyone on the streets and they're going to
• 28:03
  Speaker 8: tell you, well, the PS is just going to give
• 28:06
  Speaker 8: them the increase. We've lost the trust. And that's not
• 28:08
  Speaker 8: what the PSC is about. The PSC should be somebody
• 28:11
  Speaker 8: that the public trusts that they're doing the job and
• 28:13
  Speaker 8: representing them and ensuring that they're not having an unreasonable
• 28:16
  Speaker 8: increase in their utility costs. And what we're seeing is
• 28:20
  Speaker 8: in the last five years, increase upon increase upon increase,
• 28:24
  Speaker 8: And I think that begs the question are we being
• 28:27
  Speaker 8: represented correctly to prevent unreasonable rate hikes from our utility companies?
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Quick textures for Lancey and those rate increased reviews. Did
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: you happen to notice how many of those have been
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: in late fall or winter? I mean, yes, there are
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: a lot of those. But you know, we get increases
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: all the time from utility companies, whether it's vegetation surcharge,
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: whether it's pipeline surve charge for building the pipeline service.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: You know, we keep getting these surg charges because they'll
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: say that they're not actually raising your rate, but yet
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: your bill's going up because as they're adding another surg
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: charge upon another surcharge, it's like a fee. But what
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: what I'm.
• 29:04
  Speaker 8: Questioning is why can't we have an open discussion of
• 29:08
  Speaker 8: is it necessary to have the backs of the consumers,
• 29:13
  Speaker 8: the citizens of West Virginia who's paying their bills, someone
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: fixed incomes, paying more and more in their bills for
• 29:18
  Speaker 8: operations that maybe Mountaineer Gas, maybe AP, maybe these other
• 29:22
  Speaker 8: utility companies can be paying for from the profits that
• 29:25
  Speaker 8: they're taking every single year, which are going up and up.
• 29:28
  Speaker 8: And that's public data. That's not something that we're thrown
• 29:31
  Speaker 8: out in thin air. This is numbers that's been provided
• 29:33
  Speaker 8: to the PSC. The PSC has these numbers that the
• 29:36
  Speaker 8: profits are going up and up every year. I'm asking
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: the question is if these necessary upgrades are so important,
• 29:44
  Speaker 8: why are we putting it on the backs of the
• 29:47

• 29:52
  Speaker 2: about thirty seconds. I know that's hard, but about thirty seconds,
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: because we've got to move on about anything else that's
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: on your radar that you take a look at. As
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: we head into the fall months here, we're already there

  Speaker 8: Clinton and Public Access stalking fish. Bring the kids. A
• 30:21
  Speaker 8: lot of them will get the nets and they'll put
• 30:22
  Speaker 8: them in the river themselves, which is always something that's
• 30:25
  Speaker 8: really fun and a lot of great memories and then
• 30:27
  Speaker 8: you can obviously catch them later. And we're also going
• 30:29
  Speaker 8: to be going down to Pedigrew Lake and Meadowood Park
• 30:31
  Speaker 8: and Tornado and we're going to be stalking there as well.

• 33:58
  Speaker 2: How you doing over there? I'm doing fine. Welcome to
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: the show. Now. You penned what I thought was a
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: pretty good piece again, and we're gonna break it down
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: because there were several points that were brought up in this,
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: but part of it was about getting people back to
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: West Virginia and once they're here investing in West Virginia.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: What led you to want to write that piece that
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: you did.
• 34:20
  Speaker 16: You know, being in real estate working for Berkshire Hathaway,
• 34:23
  Speaker 16: I'm all over the map here in the state and
• 34:25
  Speaker 16: just looking at I guess things that need to be
• 34:29
  Speaker 16: done or you know, I can't sell buildings or property.
• 34:33
  Speaker 16: Properties don't move unless there's new business coming into those properties,
• 34:37
  Speaker 16: especially in the commercial arena. New Court of course affected
• 34:42
  Speaker 16: some things down in the Mason County down in that area,
• 34:46
  Speaker 16: and there's a lot of anisllary type of businesses that
• 34:49
  Speaker 16: follow that. But I've always just I always believed that
• 34:54
  Speaker 16: we stand at a place here in West Virginia where
• 34:56
  Speaker 16: we could be the example to the rest of the
• 34:57
  Speaker 16: United States or be the light to the rest of
• 34:59
  Speaker 16: the na And I just I'm just trying to do
• 35:02
  Speaker 16: my part and just letting people know, hey, we want
• 35:04
  Speaker 16: you here, we need you here. We've got, you know,
• 35:07
  Speaker 16: folks like Chris Warner and just you know, shooting off
• 35:11
  Speaker 16: the hip here.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: But we've got people that will support.
• 35:14
  Speaker 16: Small business in larger businesses here in state of West Virginia.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: So we've had a as you well know, Duke, we've
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: we've had a major issue in West Virginia over the years.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Number one. You know, we're the oldest state in the nation,
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: but we're losing population. And it's not just because of that.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Now certain areas of the state, and I talk about
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: this all the time, certain areas of the state. I
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: mean I live in I live in the heart of
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Tays Valley, and it's exploding again just like it did
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: in the eighteen nineties. Okay, a lot of it is
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: new Core, you know, various other things going on, just
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: new Corp with other things too. Morgantown area, Eastern Panhandle,
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: But it seems there's far more and I'm not picking
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: on them, but there's far more McDowell counties. There's far
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: more more of these rural areas that people aren't necessarily
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: wanting to come into. How do we want to and
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: you're a Charleston guy, let's just take Charleston. How do
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: we get more people to want to come to those areas?
• 36:10
  Speaker 16: So I think I said in that post talked about
• 36:14
  Speaker 16: things that are just moving into industrial sector. There's a
• 36:17
  Speaker 16: lot going on in the industrial sector and it data,
• 36:22
  Speaker 16: data centers and things like that. A lot of those
• 36:25
  Speaker 16: guys that are on the move, they're they're coming in here,
• 36:27
  Speaker 16: they're looking at us. You know, we could examples in
• 36:30
  Speaker 16: Berkshire with Forum Energy. Just different players out there that
• 36:35
  Speaker 16: are coming that I guess aren't talked about as much,
• 36:38
  Speaker 16: But there are folks that are on the move here
• 36:41
  Speaker 16: in the industrial sector. We've seen that, commercial warehousing, and
• 36:49
  Speaker 16: just the need for flat property, which is, you know,
• 36:53
  Speaker 16: we don't have a lot of flat property, but you
• 36:56
  Speaker 16: know we we're coal you know, our backgrounds in coal,
• 36:59
  Speaker 16: so we can move mountains and produce you know, it
• 37:02
  Speaker 16: creates some flat property.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: You know, we can indeed, you're urging, Duke would be
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: developers to buy some vacant buildings in Charleston Huntington market.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Why would you want people to take that chance?
• 37:15
  Speaker 16: So everything that's on the market, and it doesn't matter
• 37:18
  Speaker 16: if I've got it or CBR or Real Corp or
• 37:23
  Speaker 16: uh you know, any any of the brokers out here.
• 37:26
  Speaker 16: It's all low hanging fruit right now. I mean, we're
• 37:28
  Speaker 16: at a twelve percent average on our cap rates where
• 37:34
  Speaker 16: the markets that I believe it's at an average of
• 37:36
  Speaker 16: eight to nine cap rate and basically has to return
• 37:39
  Speaker 16: on your money on an income cash flowing property. But
• 37:44
  Speaker 16: every if I had the money, I'd buy every darn
• 37:47
  Speaker 16: thing that's on the market in our in Charleston, in
• 37:50
  Speaker 16: Kanawha County because because it turns around, it will turn around.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: How would you put in those places? I mean, I
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: know that's I know that's not up to you. You
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: said you'd buy them, and obviously you'd want to leave
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: some renover whatever. But what but what what would you
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: see in a perfect world would you see moving into
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: those property?
• 38:05
  Speaker 16: In a perfect world, I'd see I think some financial
• 38:09
  Speaker 16: some different uh sectors of business locating or relocating here
• 38:15
  Speaker 16: to Charleston. You know, there there's going to be some
• 38:17
  Speaker 16: people I think coming from New York here eventually, and
• 38:21
  Speaker 16: and and I won't say coming to Charleston, but I'd
• 38:24
  Speaker 16: love to get some people that are coming out of
• 38:25
  Speaker 16: New York that are not satisfied with things that are
• 38:28
  Speaker 16: or how things are going on up there.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, there's no reason why they couldn't come
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: to Charleston, you know. And and and one of the
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: reasons is is, you know, we've got this thing with
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: the New River Gorge, you know, being a national park.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: Now we're not that far away. And and the younger folks,
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: especially okay, the ones that don't have as much gray
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: in their beard is what you you and I have? Okay,
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: They they they love experiences, you know, and and they love
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: this that work life balance is really important to them.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: I can't that's a We've got a total foreign policy
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: to me, but but but but it is, it's very
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: important to them.
• 38:59
  Speaker 16: We got that piece of it, right, I mean, the
• 39:01
  Speaker 16: tourism and the things. I think somebody just put in
• 39:04
  Speaker 16: a rail roller coaster up north. I mean, there are
• 39:07
  Speaker 16: those things that are happening, but we need the businesses.
• 39:11
  Speaker 16: And when I say businesses, maybe financial district or commodities
• 39:15
  Speaker 16: and a trading desk and things like that to follow.
• 39:19
  Speaker 16: I was with a gentleman the other day at the
• 39:21
  Speaker 16: hell House and he asked me, and he said, Duke,
• 39:25
  Speaker 16: what would you do with the and and he had it.
• 39:29
  Speaker 16: He said, what would you do with the billion dollars?
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: Or what?
• 39:32
  Speaker 16: How would a billion dollars be used here in Charleston?
• 39:35
  Speaker 16: And I said billion dollars for Charleston. I said, man,
• 39:38
  Speaker 16: that's that's West Virginia money right there. You know, we
• 39:40
  Speaker 16: could change the face of you know, we could do
• 39:42
  Speaker 16: some things with that went throughout West Virginia. But just
• 39:47
  Speaker 16: I think, what is it a sind the a send
• 39:51
  Speaker 16: program or something.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: They're paying people to move to West Virginia and Charleston's
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: part of that. Now there's several about five or six
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: or maybe more around the state Charleston and where you're
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: basically paying. Now there's a you know, there's a little
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: of a contract thing where you got to agree to
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: stay and so on and so forth. But I mean
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: there that was a big deal. And it was now
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: a few months ago and people were going to start
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: taking advantage of that soon. They already had they had,
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: I mean something like like all sorts of app We
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: talked to the people in the Charleston Airy Alliance, we
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: talked to me our good Ones office and others. We
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: had a ton of people that applied in the first
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: twenty four hours to come to West Virginia, to come
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: to Charleston.
• 40:23
  Speaker 16: You know, there are so many people out there. And
• 40:27
  Speaker 16: I won't say like myself, but my dad was born
• 40:30
  Speaker 16: in nineteen sixteen. I was working at key Market when
• 40:33
  Speaker 16: I was or a grocery store when I was fifteen,
• 40:36
  Speaker 16: and I would have never have I would have probably
• 40:39
  Speaker 16: still been working at Kroger's or a grocery store if
• 40:41
  Speaker 16: I had not had gone to the Marine Corps. And
• 40:44
  Speaker 16: it just opened my eyes, you know, just different diversity,
• 40:48
  Speaker 16: cultures and just opened my eyes. And there's so many
• 40:51
  Speaker 16: people that don't get to see that now with the Internet,
• 40:55
  Speaker 16: and you know that I think they see that now.
• 40:58
  Speaker 16: But I guess folks my age, you know a lot
• 41:00
  Speaker 16: of people never left our borders or left their counties
• 41:04
  Speaker 16: in some cases, and you know, have always been you know,
• 41:07
  Speaker 16: they've always done what they've done. But I think we
• 41:11
  Speaker 16: just need to produce more opportunities here and let people
• 41:14
  Speaker 16: know that it's possible.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: How do we do that? And that's a good question.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: I asked you to come on with answers.
• 41:21
  Speaker 16: Man, I can't. I think you know, are this same
• 41:28
  Speaker 16: guy that was talking about a billion dollars, because at
• 41:31
  Speaker 16: the end of the day, it's not a black thing,
• 41:34
  Speaker 16: it's not a white thing. It's not a democratic or
• 41:37
  Speaker 16: Republican thing. You know, we were he was talking about
• 41:39
  Speaker 16: the trillion dollar triangle that exists out there. It's a
• 41:42
  Speaker 16: money thing. At the end of the day, it's a
• 41:44
  Speaker 16: money thing. And those with money and those that want
• 41:49
  Speaker 16: to see you know, you know, we've got to put
• 41:51
  Speaker 16: our gloves on and work hard, and you know, those
• 41:55
  Speaker 16: who want to help, we've got to come together and
• 41:57
  Speaker 16: drop the power piece and just come together and get
• 42:00
  Speaker 16: this thing right.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: I want to want to bring this up to you
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: real quick before we let you go. In your piece,
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: you recount what is now a famous story going I
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: think it was the nineteen forties or so, maybe fifties,
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: where officials from Charlotte came to Charleston to learn how
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: we how we did things back then because they wanted
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: to know Charleston was so was booming so much and
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: people from Charlotte came here to learn how we did
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: things in Charleston and took that back. That seems like
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: a foreign concept now talk about that quickly.
• 42:35
  Speaker 16: Well, they moved forward, and we've always remained the same.
• 42:40
  Speaker 16: I think, you know, we missed we missed out on that. Personally,
• 42:44
  Speaker 16: this is just my personal opinion. I believe we should
• 42:47
  Speaker 16: have had a regional airport that decision and I was
• 42:51
  Speaker 16: too young to even you know, barely remember all of
• 42:54
  Speaker 16: that stuff. But anyway, I think we missed out on
• 42:58
  Speaker 16: getting a regional airport here, and I think that would
• 43:00
  Speaker 16: have opened our doors a little bit sooner. So uh,
• 43:03
  Speaker 16: but everything everything else has just kind of just remained
• 43:06
  Speaker 16: the same, and those in power have as always. It's
• 43:10
  Speaker 16: just things we've got to change. We've got we've got.
• 43:15
  Speaker 16: There has to be change, and that change can't come
• 43:19
  Speaker 16: unless the right you know, we're looking at the mall
• 43:22
  Speaker 16: right now that you know the whole group is, I
• 43:25
  Speaker 16: don't know what's going on there, and they're.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: Letting it sit, and they're letting it right. I'll call
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: it like it is.
• 43:30
  Speaker 16: Okay, all right, you said that I didn't, so I'll
• 43:33
  Speaker 16: go a step feather. The city may look at we
• 43:36
  Speaker 16: need to do it, maybe an eminent domain on that.
• 43:38
  Speaker 16: I don't know if we can do that or not.
• 43:40
  Speaker 12: I don't know.
• 43:40
