WORD FROM
WASmNGTON
Taking Aim At
Drunk Drivers
(NAPS)--It's time to make
drunk driving prevention a top
priority. That is the aim of Moth-
ers Against Drunk Driving's
(MADD) new federal legislative
plan to significantly reduce
alcohol-related traffic fatalities.
The proposed legislation,
backed by MADD, would estab-
lish more funding for ongoing law
enforcement efforts, such as so-
briety checkpoints. It also
encourages states to enact get-
GETTING TOUGH--New bills
in Congress take aim at the ris-
Ing tide of alcohol-related traffic
crashes.
"tough laws for "higher-risk"
drunk drivers as a condition of
receiving a full share of federal
highway funds. MADD defines a
"higher-,isk driver as a repeat
drunk driving offender, a driver
with a high blood-alcohol concen-
tration, or someone driving on a
suspended license from a prior
DUI conviction.
Surveys show that 75 percent of
the public support sobriety check-
points to help combat drunk dri-
ving and 62 percent want sobriety
checkpoints to be used more often.

LEGISLATIVE
U PDATE
By Delegate Virglnia Mahan
The Legislature's interim
meetings in Lewisburg proved to be
informative for lawmakers and
residents alike. I received a great
deal of positive feedback from
lawmakers, some of whom were
visiting our beautiful area for the
first time, and I was pleased to note
the impressive number of residents
who attended the many meetings.
The three-day session included
several visitations to parks, forests,
schools, and The Greenbrier resort.
In addition, standing legislative
committees held their regular
meetings at the West Virginia School
of Osteopathic Medicine, and some
interesting facts and developments
were reported.
The following are some
highlights:
* As predicted, the state's budget
continues to be the focus of
attention, as state officials try to get
a handle on what cuts will have to
be made in the face of the recession.
Unfortunately, a recent discovery
regarding the condition of our public
pension system will create further
strain. The actuary for the
Consolidated Public Retirement
Board reported that the Teachers'
Retirement System unfunded
liability is about $253 million larger
than previously believed. The
system carries a long-term debt of
more than $4 billion, and the state
allocates approximately $320
million each year toward it. The
mistake apparently stemmed from
the fact that previous estimates
were based on 1983 assumptions,
and the average life span of a retiree
has grown by more than four years
since that time.
* The Legislative Oversight
Commission on Education
Accountability learned that while
some colleges and universities had
enacted layoffs and were
contemplating more, others have
actually increased staffing during
the past five years.

--English proverb
education system has reduced its
number of full-time positions by 186
between 1997 and 2003, some
schools such as Bluefield State
College, Marshall University and
Shepherd College have increased
the number of full-time positions.
Some lawmakers expressed
surprise at that fact, considering
Gov. Bob Wise enacted budget cues
last year and has already asked for
a $33 million cut in higher education
in the coming fiscal year. The Higher
Education Policy Commission is
asking the administration to restore
those cuts, and requests an
additional $10 million for need-
based financial aid programs. Many
legislators have said further cuts to
higher education funding would be
inappropriate.
* Regardless of the state's fiscal
condition, additional initiatives
requiring new funding are a
certainty. During a meeting of the
Select Committee on the West
Virginia Turnpike, lawmakers
zeroed in on the lack of wireless
telephone service along that winding
stretch of highway. Committee
members have noted that travelers
lack the ability to call 911 in an
emergency and have suggested
taking steps to eliminate those "dead
zones where cell phone calls cannot
be made.
Legislators were told last week
that the cost of ensuring wireless
coverage along the Turnpike could
cost as much as $7million. But it was
also noted that competition among
wireless companies, plus the
potential leasing income from new
towers, could lower that estimate
greatly.
The committee plans to study the
issue further, and perhaps make a
formal recommendation regarding
legislation in November.
* Another select committee
continues to explore possible
legislation regarding water use.
Legislators listened to a

Meeting will be held Thursday,

fo the West Virginia Manufacturers
Association, who said that chemical
plants and other large companies
would support a registration and
reporting requirement, but are
reluctant to back a permit
requirement for major water
consumers.
Currently, West Virginia is one of
only two East Coast states without
a water use law. While the lack of
regulation has yet to be problematic,
industry observers point to the
increased purchasing of water rights
by large corporations. The
committee is considering a bill which
would require registration by
entities that use an average of
100,000 gallons or more per day,
with the exception of farms.
* Workers Compensation Director
Greg Burton said the workers
compensation legislation adopted
this year needs time to take effect,
and therefore he doesn't see a need
for the Legislature to revisit the
issue during the 2004 session.
At the same time, some legislative
leaders have questioned whether
further legislative action will be
needed in 2004 regarding the
medical malpractice insurance
issue. Some lawmakers were
surprised to learn that half of the
state's more than 5,000 doctors have
failed to pay a required $1,000 fee
to support a new physician-run
malpractice insurance company. The
mutual company is being created to
replace a state-run fund set up in
2001 to help physicians acquire
malpractice coverage. Senate
President Earl Ray Tomblin, D-
Logan, suggested that doctors'
licenses not be renewed if they don't
pay the fee.
Although holding legislative
interims in selected areas around
the state each year has often been
criticized, I believe it is of
considerable benefit to bring the
government to the people. For many
citizens, it is their only opportunity
to .observe ;the:legilativd !preees #
