155,000 Cans, Generals Talk, Medicaid Cuts, Agriculture, Agritourisim, and Farmers Markets

This week on At the Leadership Table, General Hoyer sits down with Retired Brigadier General Paige Hunter. General Hunter is West Virginia’s first female General. She served as Assistant Adjutant General and Commander of the West Virginia Air National Guard. The two Generals discuss commanding with compassion, taking care of the people who take care of the mission, and the important role the Guard plays in our Mountain State communities and beyond.

This week in the Rooted in the Mountain State Segment, we learn about the importance of Farmers Markets especially the new South Charleston Farmers Market.

This week we also have a chance to talk with West Virginia Agriculture Commissioner Kent Leonhardt to discuss farming and agritourism.

We talked with Jim Kaufman who is president of the West Virginia Hospital Association, and we talk about potential Medicaid changes that are being discussed on the federal level and how they might impact a rural state like West Virginia.

And in our final segment I will play a report Tom Susman did for WMOV on a school that collected 155,000 aluminum cans as part of a competition.
