West Virginia Senate OKs hospital administration bill
The West Virginia Senate approved a bill to boost hospital and Department of Mental Health administration. Major changes include requiring hospital superintendents to be college graduates with field experience and creating a deputy director of administration. Critics say the measure targets the mental health director and could hinder effective oversight. The vote also approved amendments on gubernatorial appointment power and eliminating emoluments for superintendents, plus other minor bills and a welfare funding shift to counties.

Rockefeller was told not to use school appearances for campaigning while county officials and residents protested the plan. Drosick said only public officials may speak to students, excluding Kenna and Myers, but Moore could speak as governor. Local Republicans and others argued the appearance was political.
