Hold on OP, Manchin has said he will not comment until an investigation is complete. Tell WSAZ to stop this reporting or else we'll hear more crap come out of his mouth

According to Earl, its not a significant amount, and his mother is dead anyway, and the state has a deficit so why get rid of the funding? That's why this state is fucked beyond repair.

As for the article, color me unsurprised.

There's nothing capitalistic about it.  We are buying into the democrats "capitalism bad" talking point when we call it that.

Call it cronyism.  It is simply politicians being bribed to make laws that favor a company.  The only thing capitalistic about is that the company is making money and they're not doing that by rules of capitalism.  They're simply bribing corrupt officials to abuse the power of an overly regulatory government.

It would be better described as crony socialism.

As previously noted, America is AT LEAST as corrupt as Mexico, Russia, Brazil, etc.

It's just that our politicians are much more brazen about it, and the dollar amounts are vastly higher.

If I got caught  faking an MBA I'd be disgraced for the rest of my life. It's not even a speed bump to good ol' Heather. Sounds like I need to join the aristocracy.

As much as I hate WVU, if I could get a pass on an MBA and a sweet CEO gig I might change my tone.

The eastern panhandle is fine, as long as you stay out of Martinsburg.  Between the heroin addicts and the ATF setting up shop, the place has really gone downhill.
