Senator Manchin Staff to Visit Area Counties
U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) is pleased to announce that his office will launch its fifth “Commonsense Connections” Week beginning Monday, May 20, 2013.
Representatives from Senator Manchin’s office will make more than 95 stops across West Virginia – traveling to all 55 counties – to meet with constituents, hear their commonsense priorities and concerns, and gather their feedback.
“Bringing the government directly to our citizens and knowing their concerns and ideas have always been top priorities for me as a former governor and now as U.S. Senator,” Senator Manchin said. “West Virginians should have access to assistance and that is what ‘Commonsense Connections’ is all about – my staff travels to every corner of the state, to every county, and meets with West Virginians to hear about their personal challenges and suggestions for Washington.”
Senator Manchin launched his first-ever “Commonsense Connections” Week in February 2011, when representatives from his office traveled to all 55 counties in the state. This is the fifth time the staff has crisscrossed the state for “Commonsense Connections.”

Legislative Update – by – Delegate Brent Boggs - House Majority Leader - 05.20.13
I want to thank the Braxton County High School chapter of the Quill and Scroll Society for inviting me to speak at their annual induction ceremony for new members last week. Jean and I enjoyed the evening with parents, students, Board of Education officials and school faculty in attendance, including their advisor, Mrs. Brenda Gibson. It was also my honor to present a legislative citation to Mrs. Gibson in appreciation for her longtime service and the many honors the BCHS Chapter and individual students have received over the years. This is the 30th Anniversary of the BCHS chapter was a special milestone.
It was great to take time and personally meet these outstanding students in academics and journalism. I know that whatever field they choose later in life, their writing, interviewing and communication skills will serve them well.
Last week brought the sudden and totally unexpected news that Speaker Rick Thompson was accepting a position with Governor Tomblin’s administration as Cabinet Secretary of Veterans Affairs. I congratulate Rick on his new position, which will likely become effective sometime in mid-June. While he still remains Speaker until he resigns to begin his new job, the abrupt announcement has set off a chain of events that may reshape the House. Within ten days after he officially resigns, the Governor will issue a proclamation for the House to meet for the purpose of selecting a new Speaker. Meanwhile, at least six members have expressed an interest in the position. I have also informed members of my intent to pursue the office of House Speaker and have been speaking with colleagues on the subject.
First and foremost, I believe this needs accomplished with little disruption to the current leadership team. Our state can ill afford a divided House of Delegates at a time when we have consistently had productive sessions, working closely with the Governor and Senate, working in a bipartisan manner as often as possible with our minority House members, and continue to keep the State in a fiscally strong and stable position without any tax increases. In fact, state taxes have gone down.
In placing my name in consideration for Speaker, there certainly are no guarantees of the end result. However, my first and foremost responsibly is to our area as an advocate and strong voice for the citizens of Braxton and Gilmer Counties. Moreover, I believe that I can contribute in a positive manner to the House and our state as Speaker. That being said, I want to make certain that we move forward with a plan for the greater good; not to benefit any one person’s personal agenda. I’m proud and honored to represent each of you as delegate, first and foremost.
While all the speculation and rumors continue to run rampant regarding the Speaker’s vacancy, circumstances this week regarding two of our House members remind us all of what is truly important in life. Delegate Bill Hartman’s wife, Mary, passed away this week. Also Delegate Charlene Marshall’s daughter is in Ruby Memorial in ICU at this writing. Our thoughts and prayers are with them and their families in this difficult time. It is a reminder of what is truly important in life: faith and family.

Superstorm Sandy Agriculture Assistance Package Announced for West Virginia
West Virginia will be among 12 states eligible for $209 million in federal funding to help farmers, landowners and communities recover from the effects of Superstorm Sandy, according to West Virginia Commissioner of Agriculture Walt Helmick.
“The general public doesn’t always see the damage that natural disasters do to rural agriculture and forestry operations in West Virginia,” said Commissioner Helmick. “But these industries are vital to our state, and I’m pleased that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is providing funding to help our farmers recover from this historic disaster.”
USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) office in West Virginia has been collecting data from locally elected County Office Committees (COC) since the event to determine the types and extent of damage, according to State FSA Director Alfred J. Lewis.
Approximately $700,000 has been approved through the Emergency Conservation Program (ECP) based on information already collected from the counties. The majority of the funding will go to remove tree debris from farmland and fence lines. FSA has received more than 100 applications so far for individual assistance, and expects several more applications before the May 31, 2013 deadline.
Eligible counties in West Virginia include Preston, Randolph, Tucker, Barbour, Braxton, Clay, Nicholas, Webster, Lewis, Upshur and Boone. FSA will begin providing assistance immediately to eligible landowners.
ECP participants receive cost-share assistance of up to 75% of the cost to implement approved emergency practices. Qualified limited-resource producers may receive cost-share assistance of up to 90%.
More information on limited-resource eligibility is available at www.lrftool.sc.egov.usda.gov/LRP_Definition.aspx, or by visiting a local FSA office and picking up
“form 217.”
States included in the disaster declaration are Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia and West Virginia.
For more information on eligibility requirements and applications, producers may visit a local FSA county office or the FSA website at disaster.fsa.usda.gov.

WV: Who’s Next as WV Speaker of the House?
There will soon be a new leader of the state House of Delegates. As of now, though, it is not clear who the next Speaker will be.
The early frontrunners for the position appear to be House Majority Leader Brent Boggs, House Finance Committee Chairman Harry Keith White, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Tim Miley and Kanawha County Delegate Doug Skaff.
“Any one of us is more than capable of leading the House and we just need to figure out what’s the best direction for the House of Delegates,” said Miley, a delegate from Harrison County.
Miley admitted he has been considering a run for the state Senate in 2014. Now, he says he has to look at the possibility of being House Speaker. “I can’t say that I don’t have an interest,” he said.
Boggs, after serving in the House for 17 years, said he’s interested in serving as Speaker as well.
“I believe that I’ve certainly acquired the tools to take on the position, but we have a lot of good, qualified people out here,” Boggs said.
Kanawha County Delegate Doug Skaff said he considered running for the U.S. House of Representatives in the Second District next year, but has now abandoned that idea to focus on being a part of the reworked House leadership team.
“It obviously changes my focus completely,” Skaff said. “I think you’ll hear a lot of people talking, over the next few days. I’m honored to be on that list, to have my name mentioned as a possible replacement for Rick Thompson.”
Miley, Boggs and Skaff were guests on Thursday’s MetroNews “Talkline.” Delegate White is scheduled to be a guest on Monday’s MetroNews “Talkline.”
Other Democrats have indicated an interest in being considered for the Speaker’s role as well.
Republican leaders in the House say the name of House Minority Leader Tim Armstead or another Republican should be included on the list of possible Speakers since the 46 Republicans in the House would likely support them.
That’s more votes than the other Democrat Speaker candidates have right now.
House Speaker Rick Thompson will resign from the role he has held for seven years on June 15th to become the state Secretary of Veterans Assistance.

Action Plan Comes Alive to Meet Governor’s Education Challenges
West Virginia Board of Education (WVBE) members reviewed during their monthly meeting steps taken during the past four months to address six challenges presented by Governor Earl Ray Tomblin as part of his education agenda.
In response to the challenge to certify teacher education programs and direct professional development to support reading on grade level by the end of third grade, the board approved new goals for professional development aligned to the governor’s plan. Included in the new professional development goals is a specific objective to increase the knowledge and skills of all pre-kindergarten through third grade educators to deliver a comprehensive early childhood education that includes a balanced approach to early literacy.
Related to the establishment of a commission to review the current governance structure of the 55 county boards of education and the costs that necessitates, the Commission on School District Governance and Administration held its inaugural meeting in early May. Members of the group received a perspective of established education entities in West Virginia. This knowledge lays the foundation for future work.
As part of the challenge to aggressively pursue the use of Regional Education Service Agencies (RESA) to create efficiencies and to decentralize the delivery of professional development services, two train-the-trainer sessions have been conducted in RESA 3 and RESA 7. RESA 3 includes Boone, Clay, Kanawha and Putnam counties; RESA 7 serves Barbour, Doddridge, Gilmer, Harrison, Lewis, Marion, Monongalia, Preston, Randolph, Taylor, Tucker and Upshur counties.
Approximately 300 attendees received professional development during these sessions. Participants included central office administrators, principals, teachers, higher education representatives and institutional education representatives.
Members of the state board held a follow-up meeting with Pierpont Community and Technical College and the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation to guarantee the coordination of staff in cross-counseling efforts between public education and community colleges to ensure high school graduates are prepared for a career. The group discussed a north central cross-counseling pilot and an additional pilot at Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College. This pilot program will provide career awareness and career counseling services to middle school students through a collaborative, public and post-secondary education team.
To meet the challenge of requiring every career center in West Virginia to adopt or develop at least one career pathway that meets Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) standards for Preparation for Tomorrow, the state board and the West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) have signed an Memorandum of Understanding with the SREB to implement High Schools that Work, Technology Schools that Work, advanced career pathways and math design modules.
Members of the board joined former Governor Bob Wise to announce West Virginia would be the first state to implement Project 24. This announcement supports a challenge by Governor Earl Ray Tomblin to investigate Project 24 and advise the Governor’s Office on using technology to personalize and enhance the education of all students. The state board and Governor Tomblin also co-authored a letter to all county superintendents regarding Project 24. The letter encouraged all districts to complete a review of classroom technology and digital learning infrastructure in the state. Districts also were encouraged to complete the Project 24 self assessment, providing valuable feedback from the districts that will help the state frame its vision for student learning, recognize aspects of the education system that need to be addressed, and specify how technology can help align these efforts to college- and career-ready standards.
Finally, the board and the WVDE are working to reduce paperwork for educators in both counties and schools. Plans are now under way to simplify Title I and Title II plans, and make significant revisions in the existing strategic planning process for counties and schools.

PROJECT 24
“If you’re a school or district leader who is considering using education technology and digital learning in your schools, STOP—and go no further—until you have a comprehensive plan that addresses your district’s specific challenges and learning goals for all students,” said Bob Wise, president of the Alliance for Excellent Education and former governor of West Virginia. “Project 24 will help districts plan for the future and fully integrate digital learning into classrooms and school systems to achieve the goal of college and career readiness for all students.”
The “24” in Project 24 represents the next twenty-four months, a time during which the nation’s education landscape will change greatly as states and districts face numerous challenges, including the need to implement college- and career-ready standards for all students; utilize online assessments to gauge comprehension and learning; push for greater system and classroom innovation; deal with shrinking budgets; and contend with demands of states’ waivers from key provisions of the No Child Left Behind Act.

Wouldn’t it be great if they could actually read and do simple math by 6th grade ?
By anonymous in Crooked County on 05.13.2013
This is just going to prove out as superfluous, ‘put a new dress on the old problem, and no one will recognize it’ ,government styled charade.
Remember how Linger and board of education told the Governor how ‘they’ were not in agreement of the audit?

G-otcha™: Federal Guilty Plea for Illegal Firearm Possession by Starcher
A Roane County man who broke into a camper van and stole several firearms pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of firearms.
Robert Allen Starcher, age 29, of Spencer, WV, entered into a guilty plea in federal court in Charleston.
On January 01, 2012, Starcher broke into a camper van that was located in Walton, Roane County, WV, and took four rifles and two shotguns that were inside.
Following the burglary, Starcher took the firearms that he had stolen from the camper, along with other stolen goods, and traded the items for an SUV.
Starcher was prohibited from possessing firearms because of multiple prior felony convictions.
Starcher was convicted in September 2007 in the Circuit Court of Ritchie County of transferring stolen goods.
Starcher was also convicted in January 2007 in the Circuit Court of Calhoun County of grand larceny.
Starcher also had prior felony convictions in Gilmer and Braxton counties from 2006.
Starcher faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine when he is sentenced on August 15, 2013 by United States District Judge John T. Copenhaver, Jr.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods.
Project Safe Neighborhoods is a nationwide commitment to reduce gun crime in the United States by networking existing local programs targeting gun crime.
Legislative Update – by – Delegate Brent Boggs - House Majority Leader - 05.13.13
Mid-May is already here and Mother’s Day was celebrated last Sunday. I hope each of you either took the time to visit your mom, call or show your appreciation. If that was not possible, take the time to remember all the good and wonderful things that only a Mom can provide. I was blessed to spend Sunday with my Mom and I appreciate beyond words all the positive lessons learned – and continue to learn – from her.
It was great to be home after several days away on work related business. We arrived home Wednesday evening after spending the afternoon at the Capitol on the way home and review some of the Governor’s bill signing.
One of the saddest moments of the session came as we were debating a bill, sponsored by Delegate Charlene Marshall and of which I was a co-sponsor, duly named Skylar’s Law. HB 2453 was named after 16 yr. old Skylar Neese, a Morgantown teenager that was reported missing and later found deceased in Pennsylvania. According to recent news reports, she was apparently killed by teenage classmates from her school.
However, when the bill was introduced, Skylar was still reported missing. At that time, the Amber Alert was not issued because she was initially thought to be a runaway by law enforcement. The law modifies the extremely effective Amber Alert system to include any child, age 17 and younger, which has disappeared and is believed to be in danger. Amber Alerts in West Virginia are issued through a partnership between State Police, the West Virginia Broadcasters, the West Virginia Emergency Alert System and the National Weather Service.
Skylar’s parents were at the Capitol earlier this year to ask legislators to support the bill, which passed the House by a unanimous vote. After passage in the Senate, Governor Tomblin signed the bill, effective July 11, 2013.
I cannot imagine the sadness of the Neese family but I truly appreciate Skylar’s parents working with legislators to seek a law that may be of assistance so other parents may not have to go through this horrific nightmare they have experienced. If only one child can be saved by expanding the Amber Alert with the passage of Skylar’s Law, it will be worth any cost.
Periodically, the office of State Auditor Glen Gainer conducts audits of counties, municipalities and other local governmental entities as required by law. During the most recent session, I worked closely with the Auditor on HB 2851, which Governor Tomblin signed into law May 1, 2013. Many of the entities did not have the funds to pay for the audits are delinquent and in reality, have no means to pay. Therefore, the bill will have the chief inspector establish a one-time audit cost amnesty program to be conducted during the 2014 fiscal year. The amnesty program will apply only to: (1) Audits conducted by the chief inspector; and (2) Audit costs that are for fiscal years prior to the two most recent audits completed or in progress as of July 1, 2013. The chief inspector will establish procedures and forms for processing applications to the program. An entity is not eligible to participate in the amnesty program unless fees related to its two most recent audits completed or in progress as of July 1, 2013, have been paid in full prior to its request for amnesty.
Hopefully, this will assist many local or county entities that need some modest fiscal assistance. I appreciate working with Auditor Gainer on this and other issues. Glen does a great job for our citizens.
Another bill, important to our military personnel - SB 460 - relates to exempting active duty military pay for resident individuals serving thirty or more continuous days on active duty in the armed forces of the United States, National Guard or armed forces reserves for the taxable year in which the individual has separated from active military service; and providing certain limitations. This bill was also signed by the Governor.

G-otcha™: Federal Court: Bank Employee Indicted for Embezzlement of Nearly $250,000
• DEBORAH D. RADCLIFF, age 41, of Weston, West Virginia, was named in an eight-count Indictment charging her with one count of “Embezzlement by a Bank Employee” and seven counts of “Structuring.”
According to the Indictment, while serving as the branch manager of the Weston branch bank of Huntington National Bank from July 01, 2011, to November 05, 2012, RADCLIFF embezzled and misapplied $247,249.88 from depositors’ accounts and engaged in acts of structuring to cause the bank to fail to file a Currency Transaction Report for currency transactions of $10,000 or more.
To execute the scheme, RADCLIFF utilized her position as branch manager to issue or direct to be issued cashier’s checks from funds withdrawn from depositors’ accounts issued in the name of the depositor.
RADCLIFF would take possession of the cashier’s check, forge the name of the depositor and cash the checks for her own personal benefit.
The ages of the alleged victims ranged from 56 to 90 years, with all but one alleged victim 64 years or older.
The Indictment also seeks the forfeiture of a money judgment of the $247,249.88.
If convicted, RADCLIFF faces up to 30 years imprisonment and a $1,000,000 fine on the embezzlement count and up to 10 years imprisonment and a $500,000 fine on each of the structuring counts.
This case will be prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney John C. Parr and was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

GSC Students Present Research Projects to Legislators
The 10th annual Undergraduate Research Day was held in the West Virginia State Capitol rotunda on Thursday, January 28, 2013. Undergraduate Research Day is sponsored by the Higher Education Policy Commission Division of Science and Research and the West Virginia Department of Education and the Arts.
Two GSC students were among the approximately one-hundred students from fifteen colleges and universities in West Virginia who were selected to present seventy-five undergraduate research projects to members of the state legislature. This event helps state lawmakers understand the importance of undergraduate research by talking directly with the students whom these programs impact.

West Virginia House of Delegates Majority Leader Brent Boggs (D – Braxton County)
Johnny King is a senior Natural Resource Management major with a concentration in Forest Technology. He lives in Glenville, West Virginia. His research project is ‘Forest stand management techniques and rainfall amounts improve diameter growth of yellow poplar.‘ GSC Associate Professor of Forestry Dr. Rico M. Gazal was King’s research advisor. Their study of annual growth rings of yellow poplar revealed that positive diameter growth could be achieved with the application of silvicultural treatments and that dendrochronology is an effective means to evaluate the effect of forest management techniques on stand growth. The study also shows that the amount of rainfall only has an effect on the amount of diameter growth during the early stage of the trees life, and that other non-climatic variables may also be controlling tree growth such as slope, soil, and stand density.
“This was my first experience presenting my research at the Capitol. I felt it was a great setting to show the extensive research conducted by undergraduates in our state. It was also a great chance to express the gratitude of the students to the house and senate members who help fund the conference,“ said King.
‘Comparative analysis of leaf structure and physiological characteristics of Ailanthus altissima in cool and warm temperate regions’ is the research project conducted by GSC junior Natural Resource Management major Ethan Epling of Spencer (Roane County), West Virginia under the guidance of Dr. Gazal.

“My experience at Undergraduate Research Day was very interesting. I learned that there are many in depth projects being conducted at many of the colleges and universities in West Virginia. It was a humbling experience presenting our poster to the senators and other visitors,“ said Epling.
To understand key attributes associated with the successful establishment and invasion of Ailanthus altissima, the research team examined leaf structure and ecophysiological characteristics in two sites located in different climatic regions: a cool temperature region in Glenville, West Virginia, and a warm temperature region in Fukuoka, Japan. Ailanthus altissima, commonly known as the tree of heaven, was introduced in both the United States and Japan from China and is considered an invasive species that threatens natural forests.
GSC senior Natural Resource Management major Ryan Sink of Cowen (Webster County), West Virginia also attended Undergraduate research Day to assist Epling with his presentation. “Going to an event like this for the first time and seeing the impressive research presented by my peers gave me a great deal of confidence in my generation’s ability to help maintain a productive country and confidence in myself to achieve a career in my field of study. I would sincerely like to thank my professor Rico Gazal and all other people responsible for giving me the opportunity to have this experience,“ said Sink.
Epling’s project was a continuation of research that was conducted by 2012 GSC graduates Marilynn Burkowski and Ryan Thomas who presented their findings at the 2012 Undergraduate research Day.
“Our students in Land Resources were fortunate to be given the chance to be at this event. I am confident that they were able to maximize the benefits of collecting and analyzing data of their own research project and presenting them to the scientific community in West Virginia,“ said Dr. Gazal.
For more information about these research projects or the Glenville State College Department of Land Resources, visit www.glenville.edu or call 304.462.4135.

West Virginia History Whiz Kids Become Knights of the Golden Horseshoe - 2013
More than 200 eighth grade students from across West Virginia on Friday received the prestigious Golden Horseshoe award for outstanding knowledge of West Virginia history and culture.
State Superintendent Jim Phares inducted the students from all 55 counties as Knights of the Golden Horseshoe Society during a pinning ceremony at the Cultural Center. The award is considered one of the greatest honors bestowed upon students in West Virginia.
“As a former history teacher it was a great honor to have a role in this ceremony,“ Phares said. “The Golden Horseshoe is coveted by many in the state, but received by very few. It is an honor that these students can be proud of for years to come.“
The Golden Horseshoe test has been administered in West Virginia each year since 1931 and is the longest running program of its kind in the United States. The top-scoring students in each county receive the prestigious award. Each county has at least two winners. The exam tests student knowledge on West Virginia citizenship, civics and government, economics, geography, history and current events.
The Golden Horseshoe originated in the early 1700s in Virginia when then-Gov. Alexander Spotswood saw the need for exploration of the land west of the Allegheny Mountains, most of which is now West Virginia. Spotswood organized a party of about 50 men to explore the frontier. At the end of the exploration, he presented each member of the party with a golden horseshoe. Translated from Latin, the inscription on each horseshoe read, “Thus it was decided to cross the mountains.“ On the other side was written, “Order of the Golden Horseshoe.“ Because of this, the recipients became known as ‘The Knights of the Golden Horseshoe.‘“

Legislative Update – by – Delegate Brent Boggs - House Majority Leader - 05.06.13
I write this week on the road from Detroit on a brief work-related trip. It’s been nearly twenty years since I’ve been here and I’m renewing some old acquaintances from throughout the United States that I’ve made through the railroad over the past three decades. We’re looking forward to traveling home in a couple days and back to the Capitol and work.
First, I want to thank the Braxton Ministerial Association for hosting the annual prayer breakfast last Thursday in conjunction with the National Day of Prayer. Annually, the President issues a proclamation to recognize the first Thursday in May as a day of national prayer, reflection and remembrance. Additionally, the focus this year regarding the needs of children in poverty fit perfectly with the “Feed to Achieve” legislation passed by the Legislature and signed into law in recent days.
I want to again express my appreciation to these dedicated pastors and to the community leaders in attendance for taking time to gather in thanksgiving and prayer for our nation, state and community.
The Governor has completed his review of legislation passed during the completed session. In the end, Governor Tomblin exercised his veto authority on four bills. They are:
SB 21 - Creating the Health Care Provider Transparency Act.
SB 65 - Exempting Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) retirement income of Division of Natural Resources police officers from state income tax.
SB 331 - Permitting Courthouse Facilities Improvement Authority to issue bonds.
HB 2738 - Relating to the Center for Nursing.
Otherwise, the Governor did not exercise his line item veto authority on any portions of the budget. This is a rare event and one that demonstrates the close working relationship between the House, Senate and Tomblin Administration. It also shows respect for the legislative branch of government having the “power of the purse”, as envisioned by our founding fathers.
In the past several days, nearly 150 bills were signed into law by the Governor. As I write this week, the legislative website is down at the Capitol and I’m unable to give you the details. However in coming weeks, we will be reviewing the major actions from the major committees: Finance, Judiciary, Health and Human Resources, Government Organizations and Education, along with bills from Roads and Transportation, Senior Issues and other important committees.
Finally, I had the opportunity to spend last Tuesday in Huntington with Congressman Rahall, Senator Plymale, Delegate Craig and CSX Chairman Michael Ward at a briefing of current plans for transportation technology at the Rahall Appalachian Transportation Institute. RTI has a reach far beyond Marshall University, developing new initiatives that have a positive impact on transportation by water, road and rail in West Virginia and across the nation. In fact, RTI works on high tech and practical real-world solutions; they’re not just doing work and putting the concepts on the shelf. On the other end, they have the resources for planning and are working on developing a feasibility study for an ATV trail system similar to the Hatfield/McCoy Trail that could be developed or extended in central West Virginia.
I’ve witnessed firsthand the millions in funds received and revitalization of many southern West Virginia communities by the influx of tourism dollars to restaurants, lodging, sales, rentals, and service facilities. This also creates some good jobs. If you couple this with the emerging efforts to take advantage of the Elk River for recreation and tourism, along with exciting development authority plans for Corp of Engineers Sutton Lake property, the future looks bright indeed – if we work together to make things happen.
Please send your inquiries to the Capitol Office at: Building 1, Room 224-M, Charleston, WV 25305. Or, call the Capitol office at 304.340.3220; Assistant to the Majority Leader, Jennifer McPherson at 304.340.3942 or fax to 304.340.3213. If you have an interest in any particular bill or issue, please let me know. For those with Internet access, my e-mail address is: “Brent.Boggs@WVhouse.gov” .
You may also obtain additional legislative information, including the copies of bills, conference reports, daily summaries, interim highlights, and leave me a message on the Legislature’s web site at www.legis.state.wv.us/. When leaving a message, please remember to include your phone number with your inquiry and any details you can provide. Additional information, including agency links and the state government phone directory, may be found at www.wv.gov. Also, you may follow me on Facebook at “Brent Boggs”, Twitter at “@DelBrentBoggs” , as well as the WV Legislature’s Facebook page at “West Virginia Legislature” or on Twitter at twitter.com/wvlegislature.
Continue to remember our troops - at home and abroad - and keep them and their families in your thoughts and prayers. Until next week – take care.

Legislative Update – by – Delegate Brent Boggs - House Majority Leader - 04.29.13
It’s always difficult to transition back from the legislative session to a regular work schedule, although on the railroad there seems to be no such thing as regular hours or schedule. However, I used a vacation day last week to take Carson and Kenzie to the circus. They had a barrel of fun and it was a great evening for Jean and me to enjoy the grandkids.
Earlier that day, I spend at the Capitol for some post-session work and planning for May interim meetings. House and Senate clerks and legislative staff continue to prepare bills for enrollment, obtain the required signatures and deliver them to the Governor for his review and action. Other than the three bills vetoed for minor errors and re-passed during the extended session, the Governor has yet to use his veto power since we adjourned. Last week, Governor Tomblin has signed twenty-two additional bills into law. They are:
SB 208 - Making supplementary appropriation from State Fund, General Revenue, to Department of Commerce, Division of Labor, and DHHR, Division of Human Services
SB 523 - Making supplementary appropriation of unappropriated moneys to various accounts
SB 524 - Supplementing, amending, decreasing and increasing appropriations from State Road Fund to DOT
SB 525 - Making supplementary appropriation of federal funds to various accounts
SB 526 - Making supplementary appropriation of federal funds to DHHR, Division of Human Services-Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
SB 664 - Decreasing appropriations of public moneys in State Fund, General Revenue
HB 2108 - Making the offense of failure to wear safety belts a primary offense
HB 2361 - Relating to the definition of “eligible veteran” for certain state training and employment preference benefits
HB 2463 - Repealing the article that permits the sterilization of persons deemed to be mentally incompetent
HB 2521 - Relating to the West Virginia Contraband Forfeiture Act
HB 2538 - Expiring, supplementing, amending, increasing, and adding items of appropriation in various accounts
HB 2541 - Making a supplementary appropriation from the State Fund, State Excess Lottery Revenue Fund, to the Department of Health and Human Resources, Division of Human Services
HB 2553 - Authorizing the Secretary of State to administratively dissolve certain business entities
HB 2729 - Allowing schools to voluntarily maintain and use epinephrine auto-injectors
HB 2815 - Clarifying and modifying the process of appointing and terminating guardians for minors
HB 2858 - Relating generally to consumer rate relief bonds
HB 2923 - Relating to directors of state-chartered banking institutions
HB 2992 - Eliminating duplicative reporting requirements imposed on distributors of imported cigarettes
HB 3003 - Facilitating compliance with the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement
HB 3028 - Expanding the number of hours temporary state personnel may work in a calendar year
HB 3086 - Relating to juvenile services and criminal justice institutions
HB 3159 - Granting exceptions from certain compulsory attendance statutes to the Monroe and Nicholas County school systems (local bill)
Finally, Governor Tomblin announced last week that his Chief-of-Staff, Rob Alsop, is stepping down soon after an extremely successful tenure. I’ve known Rob for many years and he has performed admirably for the Governor and also in his many other prominent roles on the state and federal level. I’ve worked closely with Rob in my role as Majority Leader and his professionalism, work ethic and ability to build consensus on difficult issues has resulted in extremely successful legislative initiatives for our State. He has also helped forge a great working relationship between the Legislature and the Tomblin Administration.
