AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

EV affordability vs. ownership costs: New data shows used EV sales jumped 54% in March, but EVs still cost about 42% more to insure than gas cars—though the gap shrinks for newer models, as repair costs and vehicle age drive premiums. Workplace safety staffing: Across the U.S., coverage highlights how safety manager roles are getting more complex as OSHA rules expand, pushing employers toward centralized compliance systems. Vape & smoke shop crackdown: West Virginia’s Alcohol Beverage Control Administration is rolling out the “Vape Safety Act,” adding new labeling rules, ingredient disclosure in plain language, and enforcement authority for licensed vape and smoke retailers. Chemical disaster oversight at risk: The Trump administration is proposing to cut the federal watchdog that investigates chemical disasters, raising alarms for West Virginia’s industrial corridor and past incidents. Permitting fight: WV Attorney General J.B. McCuskey is urging the Supreme Court to stop activist groups from suing to halt federal permitting before states review projects. Grid project hearings: Public hearings for NextEra’s MidAtlantic Resiliency Link are set to begin June 4, with supporters citing jobs and electrical benefits and opponents urging residents to weigh in. Road construction impacts: Bridgeport’s Center Street bridge beam work will trigger traffic controls June 3–4, a reminder that summer often means more construction delays. Local food access: West Virginia State University Extension will open its Stinger Produce Market in Institute on June 10, offering $15 produce subscription boxes and public shopping hours.
