Bonus Quote of the Day

"I just feel like, with all those years of service, to be treated this way... even though I am an at-will (employee), I still haven't decided what I'm going to do."

-- Fired state Archives and History Director Fred Armstong, telling MetroNews Talkline that he hasn't ruled out filing a grievance over his abrupt ouster last week (with audio).

The state shouldn't target one age group for workers
At an Archives and History Commission meeting at Moorefield on May 23, Culture and History Commissioner Randall Reid-Smith stated there were five open positions in the museum. He then asked for the help of Museum Director Adam Hodges in recruiting young West Virginians.

The state should not be targeting a certain age group for employment. It should recruit on the basis of qualification, regardless of age.

The Division of Culture and History advertises itself as being an equal opportunity employer. By exhibiting preference for younger workers, it is anything but.
