I just finished the Evan Osnos book, “Wildland, the Making of America’s Fury.” He points out how easy it has been to buy influence and misinform WV, due to its relatively small size. Dark money buys a lot more in a small, less populated state. At one point in the book he cites an overestimate by a resident he interviewed of the percentage of WV works in coal ( 15% estimated versus 3% actual).
