CHARLESTON (WV News) — West Virginia Attorney General JB McCuskey joined a 23-state coalition of attorneys general on Thursday urging the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to cancel grants to the Environmental Law Institute, which has been funding "climate advocacy trainings for judges across the country."
