Handlan, director of the West Virginia Industrial Publicity Commission, told over 80 Rotary Kiwanis and Lions members that developing a recreational center at Tygart Lake State Park could attract tourists and new industries.

Party Rules Allocate Double Delegates to Dems vs Republicans
U.S. Democratic Party rules confer about twice as many delegates to national conventions as Republican rules. The difference affects delegate counting, influence, and strategy for presidential nominating contests. The GOP's framework yields fewer delegates per state than the Democrats, shaping campaign emphasis and candidate viability.
