Clay County Commission ...
Ok, folks, it's come to my attention that this site has captured the attention of those "in town." Here's our chance to all be heard. They're tuned in. Put your best attitude on and let your voice be heard.

Éraflure de mon bout ...
Verkratzen meines Kolbens ...
Graffiare la mia estremità ...

Almost Campaign Time
For a mere 1% of the annual salary, anybody in the proper district can run for County Commission. Anybody need a dollar? Do you know what the responsibilities of the County Commission are? What goals would you set for a new - or returning - Commissioner?
WEST VIRGINIA CONSTITUTION:
9-11. Powers of county commissions.
The county commissions, through their clerks, shall have the custody of all deeds and other papers presented for record in their counties, and the same shall be preserved therein, or otherwise disposed of, as now is, or may be prescribed by law. They shall also, under such regulations as may be prescribed by law, have the superintendence and administration of the internal police and fiscal affairs of their counties, including the establishment and regulation of roads, ways, bridges, public landings, ferries and mills, with authority to lay and disburse the county levies: Provided, That no license for the sale of intoxicating liquors in any incorporated city, town or village, shall be granted without the consent of the municipal authorities thereof, first had and obtained. Until otherwise prescribed by law, they shall, in all cases of contest, be the judge of the election, qualification and returns of their own members, and of all county and district officers, subject to such regulations, by appeal or otherwise, as may be prescribed by law. Such commissions may exercise such other powers, and perform such other duties, not of a judicial nature, as may be prescribed by law. Such existing tribunals as have been heretofore established by the Legislature to act as to police and fiscal matters in lieu of county commissions in certain counties shall remain and continue as now constituted in the counties in which they have been respectively established until otherwise provided by law, and they shall have and exercise the powers which the county commissions have under this article, and, until otherwise provided by law, such clerk as is mentioned in section twelve of this article shall exercise any powers and discharge any duties, heretofore conferred on, or required of, any such tribunal or the clerk of such tribunal respecting the recording and preservation of deeds and other papers presented for record and such other matters as are prescribed by law to be exercised and discharged by the clerk thereof.

The Next Day ...
Say what you will about our governor, but he's still there; it's 4:30 in the morning & he's talking to the press like an intelligent human being; he's still in the same clothes he was wearing Monday when he arrived from Atlanta; he's not giving platitudes, he's flat out saying he doesn't know. Plus, his hair still looks good.
