CHARLESTON, W.VA. — West Virginia Executive Director Betsy Miles takes readers “Miles in a Minute” with quick updates on events around the Mountain State.
Hi everyone,
At the WV Legislature, you might be interested in this:
Today, Subcommittee B of the Senate Judiciary Committee is considering two bills at 2 p.m. The bills – SB50 and SB235 – address residency requirements to fill a vacancy in the Legislature and voting rights of formerly incarcerated individuals. You can watch from home.
To be clear, I’m not saying the two topics are related but the scheduling makes you smile.
Over in the Eastern Panhandle, Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races has released its 2023 stakes schedule for horse racing. The schedule features 24 stakes races worth an even $4 million in total purses.
I love military news: Braxton County Commission is doing recognition at the County Courthouse for a Braxton County native who is undoubtedly the highest ranking and most decorated soldier to hail from the area, Brigadier General James Kemp McLaughlin. Congratulations.
Need some fun this weekend? Here in Charleston, The Pride of Capitol High School – the school band – is hosting a Bingo fundraiser on Saturday.
