Ron Thompson - A Final Note

Media scrutiny in the Ron Thompson affair is turning toward who might succeed the ousted delegate in the 27th House District. The local Register-Herald of Beckley poses that question.

My earlier confusion resolved, I've looked at the 16 delegates who recorded nay votes on the Thompson resolution. Interestingly, 10 of them held major or minor leadership posts under former Speaker Bob Kiss. But 7 have leadership titles under Speaker Rick Thompson, and there is a pretty thorough overlap between the two groups.
