Tally Sends Bill To Senate
The West Virginia House passed a reapportionment bill by a 54 45 vote amid protests that guarantees a delegate for every county violates the state constitution. Proponents defend the plan as fair and constitutional while opponents warn of unconstitutionality. The measure would increase Senate districts from 16 to 23 and senators from 33 to 46, with Kanawha, Berkeley, Cabell, Hancock, Mercer, Ohio and Wood counties gaining delegates and Fayette, Logan and McDowell losing. The bill advances to the Senate where leadership is wary of constitutional questions and has not yet offered an alternative. The debate also touched a sales tax measure, with a proposed extension of a 1 increase and a June 30, 1964 cutoff. Governor Barron supported a one-year extension, but the Senate favored permanence. If no action occurs, the tax rise would expire June 30. The Kanawha County Court case is noted next.
