WEST VIRGINIA NEWS
from Eyewitness News Online Hampshire County case heads to Supreme Court October 07, 2008 6:45 AM CHARLESTON, W.Va.
West Virginia's Supreme Court is set to hear a dispute over restructuring Hampshire County's government. Oral arguments are scheduled Tuesday in the long-running case pitting legislative leaders against a group called the Committee to Reform Hampshire County Government. A Kanawha County Circuit Court judge ruled in April 2007 that the Legislature has a constitutional duty to process legislation allowing a countywide vote on the proposed reform. Judge Paul Zakaib Jr. also ruled the proposed reform would be constitutional. The defendants, Speaker of the House Richard Thompson and Senate President Earl Ray Tomblin, contend the reform isn't constitutional. They argue that the Legislature has the right and duty to not pass the proposal. |
