IN THE HOUSE
Your State, Your District,
Roy Cooper, District 28
WV House of Delegates
January 18, 2018
Things have settled down quite
well here in your Capitol. Over five
hundred bills have been introduced
and are making their way through
the process.
Normally there are 1500 to 1700
bills introduced; however, only about
two hundred bills actually make it
into law.
In the Education Committee we
have dealt with two bills that will
significantly change how things are
done in the world of education policy
and delivery.
The first bill was House Joint
resolution (HJR) 103. This
resolution, when passed, will require
six (6) State Board of Education
members to be elected and the other
three to be appointed by the
governor.
This resolution also reduces the
term of office for the elected and
appointed members to six (6) years.
In addition, the resolution, when
passed, will give the legislature rule
making authority over enacted
education law here in West Virginia.
This action has been
recommended by several groups
including the West Virginia Farm
Bureau.
You will be asked to approve this
measure in the fall election if it
makes it through the process here.
The second bill, when finally
passed, will abolish the position of
Secretary of the Arts.
There are currently several
initiatives and programs being
delivered under that position and
those will now be under the direction
of the governor or the West Virginia
Department of Education.
The Education Efficiency Audit of
2012 recommended the abolishment
of this position and department
citing duplicity of services as their
reason.
The issue of a pay raise for state
employees and some relief with their
insurance is very much on the front
burner here at the Capitol.
We have allowed the buying
power county school teachers, aides
and other service personnel to the
point where something has to be
done.
We are paying our corrections
officers survival wages and
something has to be done.
The Governor has outlined a
tentative plan for a one (1) per cent
raise over three years for educators
but how his budget intends to pay
for it is not yet clear.
His proposal for a corrections
officer pay raise, while well intended,
needs now to be in his budget bill.
PEIA insurance plans and premiums
have also slipped to the point where
something has to be dohe.
It should be noted that the
governor appoints the PEIA board
and allocates funding for PEIA in his
budget as well.
I am hopeful that he will be able
to prioritize his budget in such a way
that all state employees will benefit.
As you know, John O Neal has
taken a job with the governor. Jeff
Pack, of Cool Ridge in Raleigh
County, has been appointed for the
rest of John's term.
Jeff is a veteran of the Air Force
and is self-employed. I have offered
to give him a tour of Monroe and
Summers county and we plan to do
some visiting as soon as we can.

The award presentation was
held on Monday, January 15, 2018
at 9:30 AM at the Asbury United
Methodist Church, 501 Elizabeth
Street, Charleston, WV as a part of
the Commemoration and
Celebration of Rev. Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr. The Commission
noted that the original script for the
monologue was written and directed
by Pamela Barry with the
permission of the Johnson family.
Barry did extensive research before
writing the script and incorporated
many of Mrs. Johnson's actual
quotes in the script. Neely Seams
was applauded for her vibrant
portrayal of Katherine Johnson
which she had the honor of
presenting before Katherine
Johnson herself in August, 2017.
The Commission also said, "The
script and performance have made
an impact on all who have viewed
the presentation of the monologue.
It clearly provides inspiration to
minorities, women, and those
considering careers in science and
math. The education of the public
about the constraints of Jim Crow
laws, racism, and sexism
exemplifies the principles of Dr.
Martin Luther King." Barry said, "I
was honored to receive the Martin
Luther King, Jr. State Holiday
Commission Sharing of Self Award
with Neely today. From the moment
I started researching and then
writing this monologue about
Katherine Coleman Goble Johnson
for the Greenbrier Historical Society,
I knew it was different than the
others I had written. Mrs. Johnson
is a courageous, intelligent woman
filled with grace and dignity and very
inspiring. I loved writing and
directing this show, but for me, the
best part is watching Neely become
Mrs. Johnson every time she
performs it. It is powerful. Today was
another great moment, added to all
the others."
Seams commented, '"'One of the
things I loved about doing this
monologue was the sense of
community it created among
everyone who came. I learned from
it and I think everyone else did. It
was great to have that recognized
through the 'Sharing of Self award."
Margaret Hambrick, President of
the Board of the Greenbrier
Historical Society (GHS) said, "We
are so proud to have this monologue,
its creator, and its actor recognized
for a state-wide award. We also want
to acknowledge the acting of Danny
Seams; the coordination of Janice
Cooley; the beautiful setting in St.
Thomas Episcopal Church; and the
work of the volunteers who provided
the Iovely "tea" following the
performance. It was a team effort." FilingDeadlines For 2oI8
Because of its potential impact on Elections
students, the monologue will be

students in Greenbrier, Monroe, and The Candidate filing period for
