West Virginia Senate president: 'We're going to run' governor's K-12 bill
The chairman of the West Virginia Senate Education Committee abruptly pulled Gov. Jim Justice’s wide-ranging K-12 education bill from his committee’s meeting agenda on Wednesday and said the bill is “dead.”
But after the action and comments by Chairman Kenny Mann, R-Monroe, Wednesday morning, Senate President Mitch Carmichael, R-Jackson, said the bill (House Bill 2711) would be back on a Senate Education committee agenda Thursday morning.
Time is running short; this year’s regular legislative session ends Saturday at midnight.
“We’re not letting that bill die,” Carmichael said.
