West Virginia Governor Discusses Housing Crisis, Legislative Support Needed

West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey delivered his state of the state address, outlining plans that require legislative support. He emphasized the state's housing crisis, where many homes lack basic utilities, despite high homeownership rates in Appalachia. Additionally, the West Virginia basketball team faces challenges as senior guard Javon Small is heavily guarded, limiting his shot opportunities. In a recent game against BYU, Small was frustrated by the defense, scoring only nine points but contributing significantly with assists. The Mountaineers need to secure more wins to strengthen their chances for an NCAA Tournament bid, with the pressure mounting as they approach the season's end. The combination of legislative issues and sports performance highlights ongoing challenges in West Virginia.
