In Around West Virginia: the brunch bill in Berkeley County, Bernie Sanders in Morgantown, too few geriatric physicians, and more.
n Berkeley County Council members voted unanimously Thursday to allow county residents to vote on Sunday alcohol sales, according to The Journal. The West Virginia Legislature passed the "brunch bill" last session, allowing restaurants, wineries and private clubs to sell alcohol beginning at 10 a.m. on Sundays, but each county has to put the issue on the ballot.
n The Dominion Post reports that 2,000 to 3,000 people attended Bernie Sanders' rally in Morgantown Thursday evening. They lined up more than three hours early.
n West Virginia Public Broadcasting reports that too few doctors are specializing in geriatrics. In the geriatric fellowship program at WVU-Charleston, no students have enrolled for the past three years.
n A lawsuit filed by 300 families against Sperry Rail Inc. and CSX Transportation after the February 2015 Mount Carbon train derailment will move forward, The Register-Herald reports. A federal judge on Thursday denied a motion for dismissal.
