TOWN MEETINGS - to be held Saturday, Jan. 5th & 12th
 Come to Marlowe or Scrabble, Bedington or Greensburg - share your views and ideas.
The other two meetings are on January 12 at the Bedington Ruritan Building from 10-11:30 a.m. (just south of the Bedington Crossroads on the west side of Rt. 11) and at the Scrabble Mt. Wesley U.M Church from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. The church is about a mile from the Berkeley - Jefferson County line on Scrabble Road . “At the beginning of each year I schedule meetings across the district as a way to listen and get input and ideas from the people I represent. These meetings have provided an excellent way for me to keep in touch with the people in the Eastern Panhandle and are a very helpful link in the two-way communication that is important for government to work. Everyone is welcome to attend and participate. I hope those attending will take a few minutes to fill out the Citizens' Poll in this newsletter and bring it to the meeting.” "This will be my 24 th year of holding these meetings at the start of the 60-day legislative session which begins January 9 th at noon and concludes on March 8. Some of the topics the legislature will be considering this year include tax relief and the homestead exemption, All Terrain Vehicle safety requirements, frivolous lawsuits and their impact on insurance rates as West Virginia gets described as a “judicial hellhole”, tax reform and improving the business climate and issues dealing with Berkeley County's growth. Other topics for consideration include the status of road projects in the area, education, health care, senior citizens, law enforcement concerns and animal abuse.” SATURDAY, January 5, 2008 10:00 - 11:30 a.m. Marlowe Ruritan Building 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. Faith Christian Acad., Greensburg SATURDAY, January 12, 2008 10:00 - 11:30 a.m. Bedington Ruritan Building 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. Scrabble Mt.
