The Legislature, Day 37

* The House resumes its attention to other matters following the latest, surprise development in the saga of once and future Delegate Ron Thompson , as The Associated Press reports. Coverage of the vote to restore the Raleigh County Democrat's seat was heavy, as one might imagine. The hometown Register-Herald of Beckley, The Charleston Gazette, MetroNews (with audio) and W. Va. Media (with video) were among those on the scene.

* The AP continues its coverage of all-terrain vehicle legislation, with a look at several measures advancing in the Senate. MetroNews has a related report.

* The Register-Herald takes a peek (sorry) at the effort to make voyeurism a crime.

* W.Va. Media covered Wednesday's hearing on legislation that aims to deter the theft of copper and other metals. With video. The AP highlighted the issue earlier this session.

* Though the House could debate amendments to the racetrack table games bill today, delegates may opt to wait until it comes up for a vote on Friday. The Register-Herald, MetroNews and Public Broadcasting all offer stories.
