  Speaker 4: know it was the giants, I can say, how about them?
• 2:52
  Speaker 7: How about them Cowboys?
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Can you believe that you and I are probably the
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: two biggest Dallas Cowboy fans around here? I knew I
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: liked you for some reason.
• 2:58
  Speaker 7: May be the only two?
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: No, I don't know about that. There's a there's a
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: few more out there.
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: My friend Jerry Nelson, the state farm agent in my
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: state form agent, he is he's a big Cowboys fan.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: Okay, well there's a few around. Ye, there's a few
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: of us. And next we have the Steelers. All right,
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: Ray Whiting, I know you're listening because Ray listened to
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: the show every day. We're coming for you. Oh yeah,
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: I'm just gonna leave it at that. I'm not making
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: any predictions.
• 3:21
  Speaker 7: I'm going to talk that one into the win.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: Like I said, Oh, you're going to predict the Cowboys
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: win absolutely in Pittsburgh.
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: In Pittsburgh, and you know, I'm most excited about the
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: Eagles game coming up. Yeah, you got a little Jared
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: Page and I have a little wager on that, and
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: we'll see.
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: I've already bought his Cowboys.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: It's not just a it's not just a jersey. I
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: bought him an entire.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: Outfit all right, Well, that sounds I can't wait for that,
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: you know, as I told somebody last week about the Cowboys,
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: and then, well, I promise we're not gonna talk about
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: football anymore. As I told somebody last week about the Cowboys,
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: other than no running game and no defense, they're pretty.
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: Good, pretty good and special teams.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: But well, and we don't know how long Michael Parsons
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: is going to be out our big stud on defense.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: But anyway, let's talk about the judicial INEX. I know,
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: folks at the County Commission and others been doing some
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: upgrades there. What can you tell us about the judicial?
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: You know, we've got three big projects going on right now.
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: We've got, of course, the renovations that Shawnee, We've got
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: the capital supports.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we're to touch on all those YEA.
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: And the judicial INXT. But the one that has me
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: the honestly the most nervous is the judicial as because
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: we've got time deadlines. I mean, you know, there's we
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: have a new judge, Rich Lindsay starting in January. We
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: have three new magistrates starting in January, and we.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: Have and I know, listen, let me tell you something
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: about Lindsay. He's very difficult to get along. He's very
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: he's very difficult. He wants his office done.
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: No, you know what. I talked to him the other day.
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: He doesn't care.
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: He would work out of a broom close and he's
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: he's one of the most humble guys I've ever met.
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: But you know he is, uh, he's coming in. So
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: we've got to have that. We've got to have it
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: at least somewhat ready, you know, for him to come in.
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: But the long term plan, which will take about a
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: year and a half to two years, is a substantial remodel.
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: We're thinking it's going to be somewhere around fifteen million dollars.
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: It's it's going out to bid soon. In fact, I
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: think the bids will be opened this Thursday at eleven
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: am at the County Commission courtroom, so we'll find out then.
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: But it's a very complex project because number one, there's
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: there's nowhere to stage the equipment is right downtown. You know,
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: it's not like you can you know it, Shawn, either's
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: all this space. Yeah, there's nowhere to stage the equipment.
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: Most of the work has to be done at night
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: because during the day you've got judicial proceedings going on.
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: You can't have drills and hammers and you know, craziness
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: going on. So it's a very and you know, the
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: upgrades are substantial, so and we're dealing with limited space.
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: So it's it's a big project.
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: I am.
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: Of the three big projects we have going on, that's
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: the one that keeps me up at night because I
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: don't know exactly where it's going to come in. This
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: is not something, honestly, we have an option on. You know,
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: the legislature passed a law adding additional judges, additional matters.
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: Have to house them. You know, that's that's our duty
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: air the law, and so that's what we're gonna do.
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: We're gonna, you know, make sure that we uh bring
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: that in as uh as cost efficiently as possible, understanding
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: that we've we've got to get it done.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: And it's difficult sometimes when you're dealing with a building
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: like the can on account at courthouse. Do you know
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: what I mean? I mean, you know it's it can't
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: when you do any old older building, I should say,
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: it's it's when you're adding on or doing whatever it is.
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: It's a big project and you know, just to do
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: the HVAC, which we did during COVID, right around COVID,
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: it was gosh, I think three or four million dollars.
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: But you know the HVA it requires a crane and
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: the HVAC units gigantic and you know, it's anything you
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: do there, it's a big project just because of the
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: sheer size of the building. Uh where it's located, you know,
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: right downtown, so it's it's a little more difficult than
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: your standard project.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: Talking to County commisster Ben Salango, the Dave Allen Chow
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: and five eighty lie brought to you imparted by bright
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: Way Insurance, the Maze Agency spend time in your business,
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: not your insurance. Bright Way Insurance. A maze agency can
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: help explain the type of insurance you needed based on
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: your particular line of business, your location, and other important factors.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: They can select different insurance companies to make sure you're
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: getting the rite coverage and prices to protect your business
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: for more. Because it Brightway mads dot com. What can
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: you tell us about the Capitol Sports Complex? What's going
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: on that.
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: We're still on We're still on track, So basically the
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: demo is is finished. If you're driving down Leaser, you'll
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: see that Macy's building has gone. We're working through the
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: design right now. That's kind of what we're doing. We
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: hope to have a design that we're going to present
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: to the public, like the final design in mid October,
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: and then we will start we'll put it out to
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: bid and start construction. You know, the goal was to
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: have it finished. The goal is December of twenty twenty six.
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: Makes a lot easier when you're doing with it kind
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: of a blank slate, you know, taking the Macy's building out.
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: If we'd come in kind of like the Capital the
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: Judicial Annex renovations, it's a lot harder to remodel and
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: existing than to start with a blank slate. So hopefully
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: we can move fairly quickly on that project.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: What's the latest on what it's going to look like?
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: And I know you still got to decide on the
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: plans because we've kind of gone back and forth on
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: some different things, the aquatic part of it. So what
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: can you tell us there?
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I wish we could bring in the aquatic center.
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: You know, we've got a couple of different problems there.
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: Number one, we don't have the space for it. You know,
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: we were unable to acquire the parking garages, which we
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: I can promise you we tried very hard to make
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: that happen. Secondly, prices are way up, and so what
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: would have been an eighty million project two years ago
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: or two and a half years ago is probably it
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: would be one hundred and twenty or one hundred and
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: forty million dollar project now because just the price of construction,
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: as we're actually seeing with the judicial nacs too, I
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: mean the cost per square foot is way up. So
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: that that was a difficult part of it. You know,
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: the economic development reports didn't come back as we had hoped.
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: It was saying this is not going to be cost
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: efficient and you're going to spend most of the money
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: is going to be generated. Actually most of your cost
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: will go towards upkeep of the aquatic center, which we've
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: seen you know, in other locations. But you know, I
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: kind of knew that going in. That wasn't a surprise.
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: So we're going to have the basketball, volleyball, pickleball, and gym.
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: We're going to have rooms so people who can rent
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: out to have birthday parties. We're going to have a
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: climbing wall. Those things I feel confident in. There's a
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: few other things that we may be able to bring
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: in there that will surprise people, that will generate a lot.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna get back because we had a text here
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: Ben that somebody asked what happened to the pool that
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: was the main thing that was going in. For those
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: who may not have heard your previous interviews, here explain
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: what happened with Yeah.
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: So you know, when we I did not think, honestly,
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: I did not think that acquiring the parking garages was
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: going to be as difficult as it was. I did
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: not think that acquiring the Macy's building was going to
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: be as difficult as it was. We did make offers
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: to get all of that. It was not well received.
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: You know, there was one quote I said that the
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: bondholders were holding us hostage, and that's you know, they
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: kind of thought they had a gold mine there and
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: they were going to be able to get what they wanted.
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: And you can't just roll over and you know, pay
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: way too much for property.
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: You just can't.
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: So I mean that's that's basically what happened. We were
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: unable to acquire all the land that we needed. We
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: were the cost is way up, you know, we were
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: factoring in about three fifty to three hundred and seventy
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: five dollars a square foot back then when we were
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: doing our projections. Now it's substantially higher than that. I'm
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: anxious to see what it actually comes back at when
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: we put it out to bid. But although that's come
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: down a little bit, but you gotta keep in mind,
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: there was so many federal there was so much federal
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: money out there. Contractors could pick and choose what they wanted.
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: They could pick the easier projects with the higher rate
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: on their return their investment. They could go in and
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: you know, essentially charge whatever they wanted, and that would
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: have driven the cost of the aquatic Center and the
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: sports complex, you know, to the point where it was
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: not affordable. You know, we just couldn't couldn't do it.
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: So that's why we had to kind of scale back
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: on that.
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: I'm not saying it's never going to happen, but at
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: least on Phase A, it cannot happen.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: What's going on out at Shanae's Sports Complex.
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so we're making a lot of the headway there.
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: We are adding on to the building. It's going to
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: be about three to four times larger the entrance building,
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: and that's going to help with a lot of different
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: things that it will help with tournaments, it'll help with staff.
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: We have actually some space for the staff. We're going
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: to be able to bring people in through the front
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: of the building. It'll almost look like a Major League
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: Baseball type entrance. And that was paid for about eighty
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: percent of with state and federal dollars. You know, Senator
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: Mansion came through and got us three million dollars federal money.
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: Governor Justice, which we truly appreciate, was able to get
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: us a million dollars to fund this project. So, you know,
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: it's nice, it was needed. You know, it's not a
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: surprise that other communities are watching what we're doing. They're watching,
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: you know, the money, the economic impact that Shawnee's having,
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: and they're building their own now.
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: And so we are.
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: Even though we were kind of the at least in
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: West Virginia, we were the trendsetter. Now there are other
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: municipalities and counties that are saying, hey, you know, Shawnee's
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: brought in one hundred and fifty million dollars in six years,
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: we need to do that here in that That's exactly right,
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: and so if you're kind of paying attention to what's
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: going on around us, our neighbors are saying, hey, we
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: want some of that action, and we've got to step
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: up our game. Quite frankly, I want to make sure
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: that you know, we're able to continue to attract the
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: biggest tournaments in the Eastern United States, that people have
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: the experience that we have to have to have them
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: have in order to come back, right, I want them
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: to come in. I want them to have a welcoming experience.
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: We've upgraded security there, We've done a lot, and it's
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: cause of the economic impact that Shawnee brings in. You know,
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: we've had that studied. It wasn't my study. I didn't
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: go out there and try to calculate numbers. I'm not
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: good at math. But other people have and they've talked
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: about how much money that generates. I think that and
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: the Capital Sports Center, you know, you're looking at, you know,
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars in economic impact
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: over the next few years.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: Before we close. I did have a text here a
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: follow up since the textual, why was the whole.
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: Group who owns the mall being so difficult to work
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: with no. Actually they weren't. At least with us. Mister
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: Hall and I have had very good.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: To the City of Charleston may have something different to
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: say about that, well.
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: So, but at least with the Capital Sports Center. You know,
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: I don't know what's going on with the other stuff,
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: and I know there's litigation or whatever, but I haven't
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: even honestly, I haven't looked at that. I mister Hall
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: wants the sports Center. I mean from the very first
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: time that he and I chatted about it, he thought
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: it was a great idea. Obviously, you know, the more
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: foot traffic there, that equals more foot traffic into the mall,
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: but which.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: Desperately needs it because another entity within the town center
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: closed a couple of weeks.
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: Ago, right, I saw that, and I hate that. But
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: and let me go back to the very first speech
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: I ever gave about this project. The Capitol Sports Center
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: isn't designed to save the mall. You know, the Capital
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: Sports Center is designed to bring first of all, give
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: families a place to play, place to go, place to
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: work out. But it's to help with downtown on traffic.
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: You know that you want the hotels and the restaurants, uh,
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: people coming in and quite frankly, when we have major
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: tournaments at Shawnee, it's not just people staying in Charleston
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: or staying in Dunbar. I mean, they're staying within a
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: two hour radius here. And so that's kind of what
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: we're going to see here. It's going to help all
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: of Kanawk County. It's going to be a big impact
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: to the state of West Virginia.
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: And that was the that's the purpose behind it. I
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: think it will probably have two to three times more
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: economic impact than the Shawnee.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: Sports comp We've got to work on a name though,
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: because use Capital Sports Center.
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: There's too many of them.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: We're calling that the generic term you know what. I
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: want to call it Selango City.
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: No, no, no, no, no, we're definitely my name will
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: not be attached probably yeah. No, I don't want my
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: name anywhere near. But the I think, you know, we've
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: got marketing people studying that, and I think that they'll
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: come up with a good name, something that's unique.
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: And honestly, at least right now, it's all about Google.
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: And when you put in Capital Sports Center, uh, there's
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: there are other ones, and I'd hate for a family
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: to google Capital Sports Center, show up for a tournament
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: and they're four hours away.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: From not not that one. We ended up in Harrisburg,
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: Pennsylvania or something. So you're you're a note to Selango City.
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: Note to Selango City. Absolutely hard, no on that one, all.
• 15:14

• 18:50
  Speaker 4: It's kind of funny because I had Selango. I'm sorry,
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: Commissioner Selango. I've known been a little week. I just
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: kind of called him Silango. But when Selango I told
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: him you were coming in, the first thing he said,
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: is he bringing food?
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: Paul?
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: How many times does that happen that you take your
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: car in for service, or you go to your local
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: hardware store and somebody says, did you bring food? You
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: don't carry food with you? Cheff.
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: I do not carry food with me. But I you know,
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: maybe I should start because it's about ninety five percent
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: of the time.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: All right, So what have we got going on? What
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: are you guys promoting here?
• 19:22
  Speaker 8: Well, I'm going this is about cheft podcast.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: This is exciting.
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: I mean, this has been a little while in the making.
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: We've been talking and it's this great program called Prep
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: to Serve Appalacha that Governor Justice Commerce Department Secretary James
• 19:36
  Speaker 8: Bailey just joined in and helped us. So we're excited.
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: What we want so we take recovering at it or
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: whatever out of whatever program they're part of, whether it's
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: health rights programs, and then we will give them skills
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: in the kitchen. So this isn't fine dining training. This
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: is number one to give them the confidence to get
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: back in the workforce and to give them the skill
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: set to step into a kitchen at an entry level,
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: depending on what skill set they had before. You know,
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: like myself, I mean I needed a second chance, and
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: a lot of people do. So this is really a
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: second chance to get out of whatever recovery program they're in,
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: after being vetted from their program director such as Angie
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: or Brandy or or Larry or whoever they're with.
• 20:31
  Speaker 12: And then we talk about front of the house.
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: We talk about back of the house, we talk about
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: kitchen lingo, we talk about carrying your.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: In front of the house and back of that. That's right,
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: that's right, exactly explain.
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: So in front of the house is the service staff.
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: So front of the house is the front facing people,
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: the servers, the bartenders, the food runners. Back of the house,
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: or like I like to call the heart of the
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: house is the kitchen kitchen staff, and they're there are
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: so many different things that you can do in the
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: kitchen from you know, a porter or a dishwasher, all
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: the way up to the chef. So this is going
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: to be that bridge to get people back into the workforce,
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: give them the confidence that they are probably lacking from
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: whatever program they're coming out of, to get into the kitchen,
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: whether it's you know, a hey, this is a knife,
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: this is an onion, This is how you slice and
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: dice and onion, all the way up to probably you know,
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: mother sauces, so you know whatever the five different mother
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: sauces that we will do techniques. I'm not going to
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: hand them recipes and we follow recipes. We're going to
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: talk about basic kitchen.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: Concept, something that they could take cheff anywhere, whether they're
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: working at I mean absolutely, whether they're working at when
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: these are a five star restaurant.
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: And most importantly, it's giving them a second or third chance.
• 21:56
  Speaker 8: Well, and it's not just only people in recover, I
• 21:58
  Speaker 8: mean other people are welcome. People that are really, you know,
• 22:01
  Speaker 8: wanting to get a foot in the door with a
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: good job. And what's great about it is it's a
• 22:06
  Speaker 8: three month program, so one month intensive twice a week
• 22:10
  Speaker 8: in the teaching kitchens at West Virginia Health right wonderful
• 22:14
  Speaker 8: Chef Paul and some of his staff teaching people. And
• 22:16
  Speaker 8: then month two and month three is on the job.
• 22:19
  Speaker 8: It's on the job, so unlike a lot of places
• 22:21
  Speaker 8: where you might have to devote a year, you know,
• 22:23
  Speaker 8: to culinary school. No, don't get me wrong, they're gonna
• 22:25
  Speaker 8: come out chefs, but this is like within three months
• 22:28
  Speaker 8: people out ready they can get you know, higher wage,
• 22:31
  Speaker 8: high tip kind of jobs. And who else but Chef Paul.
• 22:35
  Speaker 8: I mean, amazing chef timing on this was perfect. It
• 22:38
  Speaker 8: was when we were planning this after he won that award,
• 22:40
  Speaker 8: I was like, well, you still take my call, Chef
• 22:43
  Speaker 8: Pall and luckily he did, so we're just really excited.
• 22:46
  Speaker 8: It kicks off from the Uptober.
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: Eighth, yeah, next week, so you know, both of their kitchens.
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: You know, we're going to start it out on the
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: East End. We have done some events there, whether when
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: we've done something together. It has been getting you know,
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: people in that maybe are in food deserts, or just
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: don't know how to cook for themselves, or maybe need
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: to know how to cook a little healthier. This is
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: for people that want to take that step into the industry.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: And you know, probably better than anybody because not only
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: with your restaurants but your friends in the community. Right now,
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: there are jobs that are needed out there. I mean
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: there absolutely are.
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: You know you're looking at probably i'd say thirty five
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: percent of the workers in the hospitality field did not
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: return to the hospitality field after COVID. You know, it
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: is a tough it's a tough career path. I mean,
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: we work while everybody else plays. But the good thing
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: is like health care, yeah, exactly when the good thing
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: is you know, there is always work. I could literally
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: throw a dart at the globe and wherever it lands.
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: If you have that skill set, if you can cookook,
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: or if you hone your skills as a serving professional,
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: you can go anywhere in the world.
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: It's been said to me that if you are a
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: you have these type skills that you're talking about, especially,
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: as you said, with such a large percentage of food
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: care food workers that decided not to go back to
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: work or doing something else, you know, whatever they're doing.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: If you've got those skills, you can pretty much find
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: a job anywhere and you have your choice chef of jobs.
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, and it is a it's an employees market right now,
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: and we also are going to make sure so when
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: they come out, so they'll do a month training two
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: days a week, three or four hours a day. We
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: will go through basic you know, kitchen and serving skills,
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: and then we have a stable of restaurants and hotels
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: and other places that are that are already signed up
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: to take them for the next two months, so they
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: will go in. They will be basically a training wage.
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: You know, it's minimum wage to ten dollars an hour,
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: which isn't doesn't seem great, but you're also learning a skill,
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: right and then once they finished that two months, so
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: it's three months all together, they will hopefully stay on
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: and so we're basically creating the market. So we have
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: ten to twelve students per class, and you know, for
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: me this is important. You know, everybody the number one
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: question besides did I bring food with me? Is are
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: you going to stay in West Virginia? And absolutely, I'm
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: staying in West Virginia. This is why I moved home.
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: And you know, to do things like this, to give
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: back to the community, to give a chance or a
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: second or a third chance when we've all needed those
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: throughout our lives is an honor for me to do.
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: I'm super excited that, you know, we we got it funded,
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: that it was it was a great idea, and you
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: know we've been talking about this for gosh years that
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: it's been needed, even because Angie really helped and Health
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: Right really helped the restaurant industry probably more than anybody
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: during COVID, anytime I had a worry, anytime I needed hey,
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: I need somebody tested on my chef because I opened
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: my restaurants in the middle of COVID, so we did
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: not have the luxury or the.
• 26:16
  Speaker 12: Chance to shut down.
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: So Angie would bring in people on Sundays on Monday mornings,
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: on you know, five o'clock in the morning. Hey, we've
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: got a nurse there. Go down, they'll get you hooked up.
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: We'll make sure you're safe. We'll make sure you're safe
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: for the community. And so this is me not only
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: giving back to her and to Health Right, but also
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: to the community.
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: But Dave Aley's showing five any Life brought to you

  Speaker 4: they're saying, Okay, I got this is me. I want
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: to get this training. What do they need to do?
• 27:06
  Speaker 8: So you can always go to www dot WV health
• 27:10
  Speaker 8: rate dot org. But if you google rep to Serve Appalachia,
• 27:14
  Speaker 8: which I love the name, it'll come up. You'll see
• 27:17
  Speaker 8: everything about it. And you know we do that. You
• 27:20
  Speaker 8: to make sure that you qualify. We want people to
• 27:22
  Speaker 8: make sure that they're committed and you know they're in
• 27:24
  Speaker 8: sir seeking jobs and they're gonna they're.
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: Going to talk about qualifications.
• 27:28
  Speaker 8: That's basically it. We want people that you know, are
• 27:32
  Speaker 8: I want people that are, you know, not struggling, but
• 27:35
  Speaker 8: people that have a heart. They really want a leg up.
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: That's what health Rate does. A lot of the people
• 27:39
  Speaker 8: were pulling from our patient base, specific love for people
• 27:44
  Speaker 8: in recovery that have done the work to get back
• 27:47
  Speaker 8: out there and they're just looking for that break. And
• 27:51
  Speaker 8: thankfully with Chef Paul this this, we'll be able to
• 27:53
  Speaker 8: do that. And of course the funding. We love Baby
• 27:55
  Speaker 8: Dog Governor Palmerce Spartman. You know, you can't do anything
• 27:58
  Speaker 8: without the money and that. I'm just really elated that
• 28:02
  Speaker 8: they saw this vision. And of course it doesn't hurt
• 28:05
  Speaker 8: to have this guy involved over here.
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: You know, it's like wow, when I see Baby Dog,
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: I always have chicken nuggs.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, of course you well, you know Ryan and I
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: like chicken nuggets to well.
• 28:17
  Speaker 8: Just so okay, mental note, very very excited.
• 28:22
  Speaker 12: We're very excited about this. This is going to be great.
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: And you know the good part about this is not
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: only is it training with skills, but it's also job placement.
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: And you know, in our industry, gosh, if I had
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: a dollar for every time I had a restaurant call
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: me and say hey, I need to cook, I need
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: a dishwasher, I need a server, I could literally not work.
• 28:44
  Speaker 12: So this is needed on both sides.
• 28:46
  Speaker 8: Well, and I need to mention the part that we
• 28:48
  Speaker 8: did other than the kitchen, and they're going to get
• 28:49
  Speaker 8: all the important wrap around services from health right at
• 28:53
  Speaker 8: least for a year, but ongoing. I mean, we don't
• 28:56
  Speaker 8: want people to miss work because they have a cold
• 28:58
  Speaker 8: and you know, they got to go to ear or something.
• 28:59
  Speaker 8: We don't want people to have to miss work because
• 29:01
  Speaker 8: they ran out there in Haler, So a lot of
• 29:03
  Speaker 8: that stop gap stuff if they call us or whatever
• 29:06
  Speaker 8: we need to do to try to keep people working.
• 29:08
  Speaker 8: You know, there's a lot of people we talked about
• 29:10
  Speaker 8: this last time that need you know, a lot of
• 29:13
  Speaker 8: expensive maths to be able to continue working. And we
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: don't want to demotivate people to get jobs so that
• 29:18
  Speaker 8: they have to qualify for Medicaid. So we're there to
• 29:21
  Speaker 8: help fill the gaps with all these free meds and
• 29:23
  Speaker 8: free healthcare that people need and you know don't that
• 29:26
  Speaker 8: often lack when they're in the food service industry because
• 29:29
  Speaker 8: of the lack of insurance. So we're there to do
• 29:31
  Speaker 8: that part as well. Well.
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: I want to throw this out there too, and this
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: is I think not necessarily related to what we're talking about,
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: but there's another big event that you're going to be
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: a part of Shift Paul I understand over at the
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: ball Toyota Center on October fifteenth. It's benefit for Habitat
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: for Humanity. I've been a little poster posted on my
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: social media. Abauck that do you want to touch on
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: that momentary?
• 29:49
  Speaker 12: Yeah, so they focused.
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: So Habitat obviously is another organization that is close to
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: my heart, and we're going to do a kind of
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: a night James Beard Night. We'll do some action stations.
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: Looking forward to it. It's going to be absolutely wonderful.
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: Actually going on to talk about that today as well.
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: So you know, this is the beautiful thing of our community,
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: is the support that everybody gives.
• 30:16
  Speaker 12: To our community.
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: I mean from last week it was the Covenant House
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: and the Chef Challenge, and then this week coming you know,
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: we're starting the prep to serve and then you know,
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: with all of these things, it's it's amazing.
• 30:31
  Speaker 12: I really enjoy it.
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: I'll also add to to go back to the skills
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: that people need. We're also everyone that comes out is
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: going to have to pass their food Handler's card. They're
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: also going to get help filling out their applications and
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: also building a resume. So that's part of it to
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: where they can get out there and then maybe you know,
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: you know, I will also say that we will make
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: sure that they are placed at a job and then
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: they'll be able to come and do things with me
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: like the habitat event. I mean, that's going to be
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: a super fun event. I love the big area of
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: the ball Toyota. It's really inviting. It's a new venue.
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: I'm super excited to be a part of that as well.
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: And you got this network of people, and I've seen
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: it with the restaurants here in Charleston. And I'm not
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: going to say everybody necessarily gets along, but you and
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: the other restaurant owners downtown Charleston and the surrounding areas,
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: you do have a very good network of people that
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: you cause you said that you that you can call upon,
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: and so I think it's very important. And and I'm
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: sure they all were. They're cheering you on when you
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: want to.
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: You know, that was the best part of that award
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: is you know, we had six or seven chefs that
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: came and did the watch party, and they took tom
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: out of their day to be a part of this.
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: You know, we all subscribe to this rising tide, all
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: of us working together to raise each other's boat. So
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: I mean people like you know PG don at Sam's,
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: I mean, he does such great work for the community.
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: You know, we talk about DT Prime, we talk about
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: Dino over at Adelphia. You know obviously my partners at

  Speaker 5: Ellen's sohos, you know you name it Black Sheep, I
• 32:13

• 32:20
  Speaker 5: everybody supports each other. And it doesn't matter if you're
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: in Huntington, if you're in Charleston, if you're in Elkins.
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: You know, West Virginia. Now I think with you know,

• 38:16
  Speaker 4: I know that you've got to scare View. You're a
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: big part of that out in St. Albans.
• 38:20
  Speaker 15: It is it fired up this past weekend. For the

  Speaker 15: next one, two, three, four weekends, I guess it is
• 38:26

  Speaker 15: Yeah, through the end of October. Scare View Elementary, the

  Speaker 4: I'll be there one night and you and I are
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: both going to be in Saint Albans on Saturday afternoon
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: for the fall y'all fall y'all, y'all, that's where you
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: and I will be Saturday afternoon.
• 39:05
  Speaker 15: Absolutely. The annual fall Y'all Chili Cookoff proceeds go to
• 39:10
  Speaker 15: benefit the Saint Albans Canine Unit, along this year with
• 39:14
  Speaker 15: breast cancer awareness, so donation's going that way too. It's
• 39:18
  Speaker 15: a fun day, starts at twelve, runs till seven o'clock,
• 39:21
  Speaker 15: live music on the street, hot chili, cold beer, and
• 39:24
  Speaker 15: of course all sorts of arts and crafts, and it's
• 39:27
  Speaker 15: gonna be a good day.
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: And see you asked me a couple of weeks Agot
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: come into my office and he said, hey, would you
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: like to judge at chili? I said, yes, where is it?
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: I don't care, no hesitation, I'll be there, all right.
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: So that's a Saturday. I'll talk about that a little
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: bit more later on the week. Yeah, you said to
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: me though, you said you were complaining about something the
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: other day. And again, don't get us both fired, because
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: I like this job. But you said I got something
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: on my mind I want to talk about. So I said,
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: all right, Steve, I'm gonna give you the opportunity, so
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: go ahead.
• 39:53
  Speaker 15: Fair enough, thank you. Well, it's you know, there are
• 39:55
  Speaker 15: things that push you to the edge. You know, it's
• 39:58
  Speaker 15: like once, okay, twice, and then last week, so the
• 40:03
  Speaker 15: Division of Highways has what they call a rolling roadblock
• 40:06
  Speaker 15: kind of thing going on. So it just kind of
• 40:08
  Speaker 15: magically appears and traffic gets backed up while they try
• 40:13
  Speaker 15: to do some I don't know if it's emergency repair
• 40:16
  Speaker 15: or planned repair. It looks like it's almost planned that
• 40:19
  Speaker 15: they just don't want to tell you about. So last week,
• 40:23
  Speaker 15: headed eastbound into Charleston Montros. You know, everybody's fine, You're
• 40:29
  Speaker 15: at sixty miles per hour. They get on at Montros
• 40:32
  Speaker 15: with you know, they've got some flashing lights, but you're
• 40:34
  Speaker 15: not really sure what they're doing because there's no turn
• 40:36
  Speaker 15: signals saying hey, we're coming over into this lane. They're
• 40:39
  Speaker 15: just coming. So I had to slam on the brakes,
• 40:43
  Speaker 15: Like if I have to slam on the brakes. There's
• 40:45
  Speaker 15: a problem with that whole concept of a rolling roadblock
• 40:50
  Speaker 15: where you just come sliding over without any consideration for
• 40:53
  Speaker 15: what's behind you. You're just coming, and I understand it,
• 40:57
  Speaker 15: but you know, it's like, at the same point, do
• 41:00
  Speaker 15: we have the need for this, because it's not really
• 41:02
  Speaker 15: a safe way to do the repairs that are needed.
• 41:06
  Speaker 15: You know what happens if I decided to accidentally my
• 41:09
  Speaker 15: car didn't stop. You know, it was wet, you know,
• 41:12
  Speaker 15: you know, it just it didn't seem like it was
• 41:15
  Speaker 15: really well executed. And if this is how they have
• 41:17
  Speaker 15: to do it, then maybe they need to start a
• 41:20
  Speaker 15: few miles back, get on at a corkl or get
• 41:22
  Speaker 15: on at Dunbar, and get to the point where they
• 41:25
  Speaker 15: can safely take all lanes and slow people down. But
• 41:29
  Speaker 15: I mean, obviously they're doing this because there's a constant issue.
• 41:32
  Speaker 15: I don't know if it's you know, inferior asphalt we
• 41:35
  Speaker 15: buy infarior concrete, lower grade are we getting I know,
• 41:39
  Speaker 15: temperature wise, we can get away with having a lower
• 41:43
  Speaker 15: consistency of whatever the chemical. I'm not a scientist. I
• 41:45
  Speaker 15: don't do this stuff, but we.
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: See, but you have done a lot of chemicals.
• 41:49
  Speaker 15: Yes, However, it seems to be an awful lot of repairs.
• 41:54
  Speaker 15: So I don't know if it's you know, overweight vehicles
• 41:57
  Speaker 15: or is it actually the substance that we were actually
• 41:59
  Speaker 15: using for our roads that you know, you go further
• 42:03
  Speaker 15: up north, whether it's New England, Boston, Detroit. You know,
• 42:07
  Speaker 15: obviously with the free zones, they the consistency of the
• 42:11
  Speaker 15: product has to withstand certain temperatures. I don't know if
• 42:15
  Speaker 15: because we're further south that there is some leeway in
• 42:18
  Speaker 15: that equation. But you know, the constant repairs, especially the
• 42:23
  Speaker 15: rolling repairs, I think they're dangerous.
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: You did a Facebook post last week there was a
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: little bit more animated. That's what led to all this.
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: You went on an absolute rant on Zuckerberg's medium last week.
• 42:36
  Speaker 15: I did because it just it just was poorly done.
• 42:39
  Speaker 10: You know.
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: It's like, you know, you know, we're going to get
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: ten thousand complaints now from highway workers.
• 42:43
  Speaker 15: Right, Well, it's not necessarily against them. They shouldn't be
• 42:46
  Speaker 15: putting this kind of danger to see and try to
• 42:49
  Speaker 15: do this acrobatic car driving move that. You know, Hey,
• 42:52
  Speaker 15: we're kind of just cut traffic off. Watch this and
• 42:55
  Speaker 15: let's see what happens. Bad bad idea, really a bad idea.
• 42:59
  Speaker 15: I mean it's you know, you just don't do that
• 43:02
  Speaker 15: to people, and there should be some notification.
• 43:04
  Speaker 12: You know.
• 43:04
  Speaker 15: It's like, this wasn't Hey, Bobby, I want to grab
• 43:07
  Speaker 15: some coffee and patch a roach. Sure, let's go out
• 43:10
  Speaker 15: and mess up traffic for the day. No, that's not nice,
• 43:14
  Speaker 15: you know, it's like I had a place to be,
• 43:16
  Speaker 15: I was late, actually had to call on my phone.
• 43:19
  Speaker 15: Well I'm crawling at eight miles per.
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: Hour, so what So what would you say though, if
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: because I know they're listing the governmental offices right now,
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: So what would your plea to them be better planning?
• 43:32
  Speaker 15: A better planning? I mean, there's a way to notify
• 43:35
  Speaker 15: the public that you know, we do have some rolling
• 43:38
  Speaker 15: outage or blockages coming up. It would have been nice
• 43:41
  Speaker 15: to have known that before heading into Charleston. I could
• 43:45
  Speaker 15: have taken mccorcyl instead of being in that mess that
• 43:48
  Speaker 15: was created. But I just don't think there's enough foresight
• 43:52
  Speaker 15: or planning on this. And maybe it is an emergency repair,
• 43:56
  Speaker 15: but you know, it's like block the lane further out
• 44:00
  Speaker 15: what we need.
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: Governor Steve Animal.
• 44:02

  Speaker 4: I'm not so sure how I can be expected to
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: get through a show today. I learned late last night
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: of the death of the iconic Chris Christofferson. Just no,
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: I'm not okay this morning.
• 49:33
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: Christofferson is one of my all time favorites. Look at
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: I mean, look at the songs this guy wrote me
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: and Bobby McGee he wrote it. Most people associate with
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: Janis Joplin, But that's a Christofferson song. Help me make
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: it through the night for the good times? Why me? Lord?
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: So many great songs, And of course he can also
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: form The Highwaymen in nineteen eighty five with Willie, Johnny
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: Cash and my favorite Whalon Jennings. Think about this. Cash
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: is gone, Whalan is gone, and now Chris is gone.
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: Willie is the only one left. Willan Nelson will probably
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: outlive us all. The Special Session, as I alluded to earlier,
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: is about to be under way. Of course, we are
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: covering it on the Governor's Call is a bill calling
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: up for up to five percent of a cut in
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: personal income tax rates. Jeff Jenkins has got a story
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: posted about it at wv metronews dot com, and as
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: Jeff's story points out, the bill is expected to be
• 50:22
  Speaker 4: introduced without any agreement on the table with lawmakers and editors.
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: Note if you'd like to read the governor's entire call,
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: it is contained as part of Jeff's story at wv
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: metronews dot com. The bill to create a childcare text
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: credit is on the agenda. In all, the governor proposing
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: twenty seven bills. Twenty one of them are supplemental funding
• 50:44
  Speaker 4: bills from the surplus funds for a total of around
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: four hundred and sixty four million dollars. There are water
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: and sewage projects, PIA, rural hospitals, nurses training program e ands,
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: fire etc. Etc. Again, read about it in jeff'storywv metronews
• 50:58
  Speaker 4: dot com, and of course Brad is on over it
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: as well on the Twitter machine and online as well.
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: We're going to see how all this goes because the
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: legislative body as a whole is not exactly enamored with
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: anything the governor wants at this point. And I have
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: had some conversations here and there with a few legislators
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: few few that are supporting what the governor wants to
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: do tax wise, but the majority, it seems, both Republican
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: and Democrats are saying it's it's a no go, and
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: they're holding firm, you know, on that. So we're going
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: to see what happens again, it's underway. Brad mclhannon and
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: Jeff Jenkins's entire news team are keeping close eyes on its.
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: Speaking of the governor, he is holding firm that he
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: will not debate his Democratic component for US Senate Glenn Elliott.
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: He doesn't feel he needs to. Well, just me speaking here,
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: I think the public has has a right of us
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: the vote. Public has a right to know what you
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: stand for and how you stack up against your opponent.
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: That's just my thought. And I still don't know what
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: the status of a proposed debate in the governor's race
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: between Republican nominee Attorney General Patrick Morrissey and the Democrat
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: nominee Huntington mayor Steve Williams. Has to say, don't know
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: where that's going to go. They agreed upon it, then
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: not so much. So we'll see where I would say
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: this that one's got a much better chance of happening
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: than what an Elliot V Justice debate has. All right,
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: but Dave Allen showing five Eddie, I brought you apartment
