SRC Reorganization Bill And Liquor Referendum In WV Legislature
The 52nd West Virginia Legislature opened a busy session with SRC reorganization amendments in the Senate and a liquor sales referendum debate in the House. Gov Marland prepared to address lawmakers on boosting general revenue and reducing a 60 million dollar deficit. Proposals would create a seven member bi partisan SRC commission with a road commissioner appointed by the panel and limit governor control. A separate bill would ban political contributions by contractors during state contracts. The House debated referendum options on repealing liquor sale restrictions or moving toward a dry state, with votes pending on Smiths amendment. A ScanesKeister injunction bill would require hearings before injunctions in labor disputes, with a temporary restraining order possible. Senate approved a measure to remove presidential electors from West Virginia ballots prior to gubernatorial signature.
