Mineral County Day at the Capitol
The Mineral County Commission helped plan Mineral County Day at the capitol. The event was held at the Cultural Center and great food and entertainment was provided. Commissioners, Janice LaRue, Richard Lechliter and Jerry Whisner were there to welcome all the Senators, Delegates and other attendees. Frankfort’s Middle School Teal Steel Band provided great entertainment as well.
CCAWV Adds Issues to Supported Proposals
The CCAWV Board of Directors met on opening day and added three new issues to our list of supported legislative proposals and one to those we oppose:
1. CCAWV will seek passage of a bill granting advice and consent authority to county commissioners for employee firings in all county offices. Current law grants advice and consent authority to commissioners on the hiring of all county employees and the effort is to require approval on firings so that proper legalities are met when firing an employee is required and thereby attempting to avoid liability lawsuits in which the county commission gets stuck paying the bill.
