Lawmakers urged to fund human rights commission in special session
Reconsideration of strip mining aside, the upcoming April 5 special session should address human rights laws. The article notes the 1971 housing and employment protections passed, but funding for the State Human Rights Commission remains unfunded. Commission director Carl Glatt requests 40 725 dollars, far below the originally sought 63 971, to implement the law and avoid a Wheeling regional office. NAACP officials accuse both the legislature and governor of hypocrisy for inaction on social problems and say failure to fund will prove their charges.
