WV: Billboard Campaign Calls On Manchin to Lower Drug Prices by Voting for Build Back Better Act

3. Joe works for coal and Big Pharma, like his

'EpiPen' daughter whose pharma company inflated the cost of life-saving medicine for people w allergies/asthma several years ago ('Pharma Bro' story). Her mom, Mrs. Joe helped market it to the WV school systems. A revolting bunch, and there's more to it probably.

M. has power and there's a long history of corruption but I don't know how he hasn't been tossed. Jay Rockefeller- D served the state much better as SoS, Governor and US Senator, 1970s- 2015.

There are still active, D people as well as known ignorant types. Many residents, esp. elders have health conditions- respiratory, diabetes, cancer, etc. and given the widespread lack of financial resources, they would really benefit from lower drug costs and decent health care like in other places.

The SSW's billboard effort is a good one, we'll see how it goes. Staffer Troy Miller who's mentioned is bright and active like others, just not seen in the media enough unfortunately.
