Speaker criticizes governor over I-64 routing delay
West Virginia House Speaker Lewis McManus blasts Gov. Arch A. Moore Jr. for delaying final I-64 routing and re using a year old federal information request on a Corridor I bridge near Hico Fayette County. He says final routing is settled and changing it would cost millions and waste funds.
Gov Arch Moore says federal inquiry delayed I-64 routing decision
Gov Arch Moore defended his stance that work on I-64 along the West Virginia Turnpike has been slowed by a federal request. He pushed back at House Speaker Lewis McManus who accused him of using the corridor L bridge study as a delaying tactic while noting the federal review and potential use of a high level suspension bridge at Hico for both I-64 and corridor L. Moore said he merely answered the federal inquiry and that while the state has a voice, the federal government will have substantial influence since it pays 90 percent of the bill.
