PEIA debate stirs labor backlash over proposed premium cuts
West Virginia labor leaders oppose a PEIA bill that would slash state premium shares and empower the board on sick leave value. Ray argues the system can endure the current costs with a planned 21 million state infusion this year and a projected 30 million year-end surplus. Labor cites low pay, benefits essential for recruitment, and urges returning to a study committee rather than rushing a flawed plan.

Indian Ridge and Coalfields Expressway Development Plans
Delegate Rick Staton sponsored a concurrent resolution that sparked Coalfields Expressway momentum. The proposed 112 mile four lane road would run from Beckley to Pound via Sophia Mullens Pineville Welch and Bradshaw WV and Grundy Haysi Clintwood VA with 65 miles in WV and 51 more in VA. Nearby McDowell and Wyoming counties would host key interchanges and industrial park growth with 300 jobs from the Wyoming County park. U.S. Sen. Byrd funneled 25 million for prisons and line upgrades, funding a 1000 inmate facility for non returnable criminal aliens. Construction could start next year with about a 10 year completion horizon and Pineville Welch travel times to Beckley of 20 to 30 minutes. THF Reality eyeing park sites.
