Reform of state police and municipal powers urged
A long policy essay argues for major police reform and state control over police, health, and public affairs. It contends that shifting to state administration would cut costs, reduce local corruption, and modernize government with a simpler, uniform structure. It also urges limited municipal duties to streets, sewers, water works, and fire departments. The piece critiques local politics and lampoons The Fairmont Times and West Virginia party infighting, praising Rush Holt potential and condemning others.
