Why West Virginia’s School Children Need Coal
WV’s former Secretary of Tax and Revenue, Rob Capehart, explains the importance of coal to the state’s budget. Coal companies, and the utilities they support, pay almost 2/3 of business taxes in the state. What will the War on Coal do to WV?
The host of the Jacki Daily show has had an impressive career in energy, law, and politics.
Now playing also on station KWEL in Midland-Odessa!
Most recently, Jacki served as General Counsel to an engineering firm specializing in energy, national security and environmental cleanup. Previously, she served many years as legal counsel on Capitol Hill to the Chairman of the Subcommittee on the Constitution and the former Ranking Member of the Commercial and Administrative Law Subcommittee, advising on the oversight of federal agencies. Prior to her career in Washington, she worked as a corporate litigator, and as an Assistant Vice President for a national bank.
She entered public life at a young age, as a finalist in the Miss Teen of America pageant. She also served as the Public Relations Director for a statewide political organization.
Jacki studied Economics, Spanish, and World History at Marshall University (Society of Yeager Scholars), Oxford University in the United Kingdom, and the University of Zaragoza in Spain. She is an alumna of the Vanderbilt University Law School, where she served as the President of the law school’s Federalist Society chapter.
Jacki has an extensive network in her six overstuffed rolodexes from which the show draws its guests—including industry leaders representing all parts of the energy sector (oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear, solar, and wind), and government officials, journalists, and political insiders. Often, Jacki will know the day’s most-wanted guest and be able to secure the guest with a personal call.
Jacki is from the Ohio River Valley, where the shale runs deep. She descends from a long line of energy workers, including roughnecks, railroaders, coal miners, and nuclear energy specialists.

They were really naughty last year? Just kidding.
it would explain a lot! :)
I live in the Ohio Valley and coal is important to us, as is nat gas from fracking. Our electric bills are about to skyrocket due to AEP plants closing thanks to obama’s EPA thugs. The beautiful thing about this, for Democrats anyway, is that a majority of the people that voted for obama don’t pay utility bills. Such a neat little socialist package they’ve wrapped up, and it was so nice of the GOPe to put a bow on it for them.
Kentucky just elected a Republican governor—only the second one in decades. That was because they recognize the RATS are killing the coal industry. Now if West Virginia would wake the hell up, there’s hope. They elected Joe Manchin (RAT) to the US Senate and he was “storng on gus”. HA. He supports “commons-sense” gun control, which is RAT terminology for confiscation. RATS are all the same. West Virginia coal miners have to kick the RATS to the side of the road and vote for TRUMP!
