CHARLESTON — The Democratic gubernatorial candidates displayed many differences of personality and policy but few similarities other than party affiliation Saturday morning during a televised forum that aired on West Virginia Public Television.
Jeff Kessler, Jim Justice and Booth Goodwin answered questions about the state's budget crisis, natural resources, climate change, drug abuse and broadband, while taking a few shots at one another.
