Here's a great LTE from a Norfolk friend as published in Saturday's Virginian-Pilot:
The House of Delegates budget plan, crafted by the Republican majority, would cut $650,000 from public broadcasting company WHRO while leaving intact more than $30 million in annual subsidies for the state's billion-dollar coal industry.
That WHRO allocation helps local school systems save more than $2.5 million annually in services purchased through WHRO, such as online training courses for teachers.
But the coal industry stays on the public dole while it destroys the landscape, waterways and quality of life for those living near its mining operations and threatens the health of everyone every time coal is burned.
I hope a public outcry over such perverse priorities will reverse this injustice and change the makeup of the House.
