The measure notes Ohio seeks to move its southern border to the river middle but warns such a shift would disenfranchise thousands of West Virginians including Jack Adams of Wheeling. West Virginia will resist any neighbor’s attempt to control river lands, the resolution says. Beard also introduced a Grandfather's Day proposal for the first Sunday in August.
