The Legislature, Day 35

With table games clearing another hurdle and teacher pay on today's agenda, the Legislature is picking up the pace this week.

* The Associated Press reports on a bill endorsed by the House Judiciary Committee that seeks to curb lawsuits filed by non-residents. The Legislature had earlier targeted out-of-state plaintiffs, but that effort was deemed unconstitutional by the state Supreme Court.

* The Senate Government Organization Committee, meanwhile, has advanced a proposed overhaul of the statewide system for resolving public and education employee grievances, according to the The Charleston Gazette.

* The Register-Herald of Beckley continues the coverage this session on follow-up legislation targeting all-terrain vehicles.

* The AP looks at one example of localized fallout from the Mark Foley scandal.

* The Charleston Daily Mail follows up on workplace drug testing, an issue pursued by the coal industry and touted by Gov. Joe Manchin in this year's State of the State address.
