CSC Ruling Favors Ellison
New members of West Virginia's Civil Service Commission ruled Monday in favor of Charles E. Ellison who appealed an Employment Security action. Ellison, moved from area coordinator in Charleston to local office manager, must regain area coordinator duties and supervise at least one local office manager. He will be paid attorney fees. The three new commissioners held their first meeting with Willard Erwin as chairman, Charles M. Kincaid and Robert Hinerman. Governor Jay Rockefeller appointed them last month to replace earlier appointees blocked by the Senate. The panel also discussed clearing a backlog of 27 cases and extending hearing timelines from 10 to 30 days and from 30 to 60 days for hearings after appeals.

EPA moves could open coal sales to WV power plants
A West Virginia subcommittee heard that an EPA decision last week may allow northern WV mines to sell coal to state power plants for the first time in years. OECD chief Donald Moyer said the EPA asked WV APCC to propose a 3.2 percent sulfur limit for Harrison plant, balancing environment and economic effects. The discussion covered Pittsburgh seam coal limits, metallurgical markets, and potential trade missions to Japan as Gov. Rockefeller eyes expanding coal exports amid shifting global demand.
