Today, Sen. Mike Caputo (D-Marion) offered an amendment to #HB2008 to keep Fire Protection Workers licensed. He referred to an incident where elderly nursing home residents were put in DANGER due to improper, unlicensed work. Still, the amendment FAILED. #wvpol

The #WVJobsAct is under attack! Tomorrow at 10am #SB370 will be considered on the Senate Workforce committee. Tell Senators to vote NO on this attack on WV Jobs! #wvpol

#WomensHistoryMonth isn't only about celebrating the accomplishments of women, but also about using our voices to amplify those who are not heard and uplift those who are also in the fight for equality and change.

Today marks the beginning of #WomensHistoryMonth. We celebrate the work that's been done to shatter glass ceilings and march us even closer to equality for all.

#HB2006, #HB2007, & #HB2008 (licensing bills) are all pending in Senate Gov. Org. Committee. We are hearing they could be considered as early as tomorrow! Keep calling your Senators to tell them vote NO on these bills! #wvpol

❌This bill risks the quality and safety of services provided to West Virginians.
❌It allows out-of-state workers to come in and take jobs from WV workers without proper licensing requirements.
❌It was pushed through without public hearing/ public testimony #HB2007 #wvpol

I slipped and fell down my icy stairs today. Knocked the wind out of me and laid on the ground for 5 min. Luckily it was earlier than most people wake up. Only the neighborhood cats were there to judge me.

[George W. Capel @georgewcapel]

It’s dangerous how quickly some of the bills are being jammed through this legislative session. Experts aren’t being consulted and legislators don’t even have time to read them. #wvpol
