AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

SNAP Court Win in West Virginia: A federal judge ruled against USDA SNAP food restriction waivers, vacating them for West Virginia and other states and saying the agency overstepped its authority—an important business-and-family issue as retailers and benefit recipients navigate what’s allowed. Food Costs Pressure: Separate reporting highlights rising grocery prices and growing demand at food pantries, with families facing higher costs while SNAP access tightens. Corridor H Progress: Gov. Jim Morrisey cut the ribbon on a new 11-mile, four-lane Corridor H segment from Kerens to Parsons, with 112 miles now open and nearly $2 billion invested to date—good news for regional commerce and emergency access. Electric Grid & Data Centers: West Virginia lawmakers weighed proposed transmission projects and debated changes to the state’s data center district law, signaling continued policy churn for power and investment. Child Labor Law Changes: A new analysis says West Virginia joined several states easing child labor protections this year, including changes tied to youth apprenticeships. Plastics Act Lawsuit: West Virginia is part of a multistate challenge to California’s single-use plastics packaging law, arguing it could raise costs and reach beyond state authority. Local Legal/Business Notes: A Parkersburg-area attorney launched a redesigned website for criminal defense and veterans disability services, while a Morgantown distracted-driving case story outlines legal options for injured drivers. Community & Outdoor: Clendenin marked the 10th flood anniversary after rebuilding, and WVDNR reported a 12.3% jump in spring gobbler harvests.
