I'm not sure what the WV GOP will do with their power. It's not as if Big Coal hasn't been getting what it wants with the Democrats in power anyway. They could try to do something about the alarming number of people there who are all hopped up on Oxycontin and meth and smoking like chimneys. But that, again, would require government action.
This implies that the Republicans in West Virginia (or most states or Congress, but that's another story..) have any serious, even
vaguely coherent plan to enact legislation-other than throwing red meat to their primary electorate while continuing to support whatever business interests they are beholden to.
