Some of you may have noticed the "Open for Business" slogan that has been added to the West Virginia signs at the borders. Many people have objected to this slogan, because it implies that we will welcome any business, no matter how negative its effects might be on the state and the environment. There is an online petition to Governor Manchin that asks that the slogan be removed. According to the Charleston Gazette: "It was the 20th most popular petition on an international site that boasts thousands of petitions." If you would like to sign the petition, go to the url below:.
