Hi Everyone,

As a new year is an opportune time for starting over and trying new things, the Cardinal Institute is going to try a new blog dedicated to ideas and perspectives that we hope will add something to the intellectual climate in West Virginia.

We intend to feature posts from Cardinal staff, West Virginians, interested stakeholders, thought leaders, etc. – in other words, from a wide variety of folks who care about this state. Now, Cardinal will not be able to endorse every idea that appears in our blog, but we do hope that it will enrich debate in West Virginia. Our inaugural post will feature our executive director, Garrett Ballengee, on some New Year’s resolutions that he would like to make on behalf of this beautiful state. So be on the look out tomorrow morning. Here is to a new year, new ideas, and exciting things in our state’s future!
