Legislature 2009: Day 38

  • Those who oppose pumping coal slurry into played-out mines hope initial test results boost the chances for a proposed moratorium on the practice, The Associated Press reports.
  • The Herald-Dispatch of Huntington focuses on a Senate-passed bill "that requires cities with user fees to be more transparent with their spending," prompted by efforts in that city to hike its levy.
  • Teacher unions object to a Senate change to Gov. Joe Manchin's school calendar bill, MetroNews reports. Under the amendment, teachers would not be paid for snow days, but would be for the make-up days. With audio. The Gazette also has an item.

Of course the teachers object to this amendment. It would cut their pay. They now get paid for the snow days plus the makeup days. Only stands to reason they would object. Heck, if my ox were being gored, I'd complain too.
