Servicemen In The News Mary Pearl Compton ,+ By Delegate Mary Pearl Compton The last week of the 69th Legisla- tive Session was hectic to say the least.

Serv- ice personnel will receive $20 a month for I0 months. Contained within the budget is a very controversial provision which has already been threatened with lawsuits. That amendment prevents state-funded abortions unless the pregnancy results from incest, rape or a doctor decides the pregnancy could be harmful to the baby or mother. Other measures passed by the Legislature include getting the state out of the retail liquor business as well as allowing the Director of Health and Human Services to close, sell or lease three state.run hospi- tals including the Andrew S. Rowan Memorial Home in Sweet Springs. Bid proposals have been submitted and hopefully, ASR will be leased as a personal care home. Several measures were passed regarding improving the environ- ment including a bill that wou]d increase fines the Air Pollution Control Commission can set for air pollution violators, prohibiting Class A 1 a n dilll s from proce s si ng m ore than 10 thousan ds tons of waste per men th and limiting the amount of out-of- state garbage, continuing the United States Geological Survey Program, and creating specifications for peti- tions to establish a recycling pro- gram for solid waste. Unfortunately, a bill I strongly supported, the groundwater protection act, did not pass. It seems business and indus- try do not wish to abide by strict water protection requirements. But for the precious natural resources located in our area, it is a necessity that everyone protect the water. If re-elected as your representative I will continue to pursue this vital piece of legislation. Regarding health issues, a meas- ure allowing an attorney to act in behalf of a client who has previously arranged an agreement with him/ her to make health care decisions should the client not be able to do so because ofillness, etc. Additionally, a bill maintaining the confidential- ity of the identity of a physician, podiatrist or physician's assistant participating in a voluntary agree- ment for the treatment ofalcohol or drug dependency. Along with teachers, state troop- ers will also receive a pay raise this year. The Legislature passed a bill initiating a state police career devel- opment program setting up a sys- tem of promotion. The pay increase will be funded by requiring the Department of Motor Vehicles to reimburse the Department of Public Safety for work the state police do on the highways. The troopers salaries will increase between $1,500 and $7,000 a year. I am very pleased to announce that legislat!on placing Moncove Lake in the state park system passed both the House and Senate.

The passage of this legislation was very important to me as I am doing all I can to promote tourism in Monroe and Summers Counties. Two hundred bills completed leg- islative action during this session. Other bills I have not discussed thus far include classifying seasonal employees and increasing their number of allowed work hours un- der the civil service system, requir- ing hospital and medical service corporations to provide insurance for mental illness, awarding the department of public safety men,- bern their gun upon retirement, creating the New River Gorge Bridge Day Commission, creating a small business expansion assistance pro- gram and allowing the Public Serv- ice Commission to regulate cable tv companies in certain areas of the state. While particiating in the legisla- tive process I have learned a great deal and I hope to be back again next year to serve the good citizens of Monroe and Summers. If you have any questions or comments on pos- sible legislation, please feel free to contact me.
