Charleston, WV (Wowk) – The legislators in West Virginia have so far introduced hundreds of legislative templates in this legislative session. However, only dozens of it made it to the finish line and only a handful of the governor’s desk.
“I come up and have an SSAC bill on my desk that deals with trainers and recruitment,” said Del. Dana Ferrell, a Republican from Kanawha County.
Ferrell said that he was pleased to see that the House Health Committee had chosen the law to abolish the law on the necessity. He believes that the removal of the needs certificate in West Virginia would harm hospitals.
“This undermines the paylines that these hospitals need,” said Ferrell. I don’t see Cleveland clinic and other companies that come in and do this. “
In the corridor, the minority -whip Shawn Fluharty and other Democrats introduced a draft law that legalized the exploit of marijuana in the mountain state.
“I think one goal of our state is to achieve new income without increasing taxes,” said Fluharty, who represents Ohio County. “This is exactly what does this. If you look at Ohio, you earn millions of dollars a month with adults.
Fluharty is of the opinion that many of the previously discussed legislative templates do not treat the main problems in West Virginia in this legislative meeting.
“I call them election calculations. All you should do is to have re -elected legislators. I think it’s absurd, “said the Fluharty.” I speak for many people I know who asks: “Isn’t it time to lead the West Virginia families actually helps?” I haven’t seen it in this session yet. “
Senate Bill 456, who wants to define a man and a woman, is such a legislation with which Fluharty said.
“Wow, what stubborn, groundbreaking legislation,” said Fluharty sarcastic. “It does not bring a single job to the state of West Virginia. It does not reduce the supply costs. There is no tax grade because it does nothing. It doesn’t matter for our economy, but they feel good. It’s stupid. ”
A cross -party Senate Committee, however, aims to tackle a topic that has plagued the state for more than a decade.
“It is not a partisan problem and affects all parts of the state. I have the feeling that we can do a lot of good things in this committee, “said Senator Mike Woelel, minority leader.
Members of the Senate selection committee for drug abuse and mental health hope that someone who has to struggle with drug abuse will make it easier to get aid for their addiction.
