May was a busy month for West Virginia politicians! The WV legislature convened for another Special Session on the heels of the West Virginia Primary, which took place May 13, 2014. During the Special Session, the legislature took up the budget cuts Governor Tomblin had made with his line item veto. In all, they restored over 1 million in funding. The money, which will come from excess lottery funds, will go towards programs that support West Virginia’s children and families, such as Family Resource Network and Child Advocacy Centers.

Congratulations to all incumbent Commissioners and our heartfelt thanks to those who are moving on to other adventures. Serving the public is not an easy task! We appreciate the years you all have dedicated to public service.
