  • W.Va. Lobbyist Puccio Crosses Political Streams to Advise Democrat Manchin, Republican Justice Larry Puccio Has Been Walking
    W.Va. lobbyist Puccio crosses political streams to advise Democrat Manchin, Republican Justice Larry Puccio has been walking a political tightrope. His path crosses influence, access, politics, loyalty, friendship and no small degree of personal finance against the backdrop of a West Virginia that is transitioning from longtime Democratic dominance toward Republican power. He is a lobbyist, former state Democratic Party chairman and ex-chief of staff for Joe Manchin when he was governor. But this political season, Puccio pushed for the re-election of Gov. Jim Justice, a Republican who first won office as a Democrat. Puccio’s efforts were very different from Manchin, who very publicly said Justice should be defeated. On social media, Puccio’s social media status would be, “It’s complicated.” But Puccio says the political position he occupies is relatively simple. “It wasn’t hard for me because I’ve always been a person when I wake up in the morning, I’m going to support who I think is best for the state and best for our country,” Puccio said last week after being called on the telephone right as he sat down for a meal at Muriale’s, a much-loved Italian restaurant near his home in Marion County. “If you look at the results of this election, major numbers of Democrats voted for Jim Justice, so I would have to think those felt it was fine.” The next question was about what Manchin must think about that. Manchin and Puccio helped the billionaire owner of The Greenbrier win the governor’s race as a Democrat in 2016.

VIGLIANCO State Capitol Complex Assistant Attorney Building 1, Room E-26 General Charleston, WV 25305 [email protected] (304) 558-2021 Counsel for Petitioners QUESTIONS PRESENTED In a decision that brought pending state impeachment proceedings to a halt, a panel of acting justices of the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia inserted itself into both the substance and procedure of a process that the West Virginia Constitution entrusts exclusively to the Legislative Branch. In its opinion, the court refused to grant relief under the “Guarantee Clause” of Article IV, § 4 of the United States Constitution, which promises that “[t]he United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,” because it deemed Guarantee Clause challenges to be nonjusticiable political questions. The questions presented are: 1) Whether Guarantee Clause claims are judicially cognizable? 2) Whether a state judiciary’s intrusion into the impeachment process represents so grave a violation of the doctrine of separation of powers as to undermine the essential components of a republican form of government? ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page QUESTIONS PRESENTED ......................................

He said he never could have imagined rejoining the Court when he retired on December 31, 1997. He said he was both honored and pleased when then-Chief Justice Elliott Maynard asked him on September 1, 2008, to sit by Designation as a Senior Status Justice for Justice Joseph Albright during Justice Albright’s illness, and then again when then-Chief Justice Brent Benjamin asked him to continue that service into 2009. Then-Governor Joe Manchin III appointed him to the seat on April 20, 2009, after the death of Justice Albright. Justice McHugh was elected on Nov. 2 to fill the unexpired term of Justice Albright, which ends in 2012.

  • Underthedome
    UNDER the DOME FEBRUARY 1, 2016 Welcome Under the Dome is an update on actions and activities of the West Virginia Legislature, provided during the regular legislative session and interim sessions for West Virginia University faculty and staff by WVU’s Office of State, Corporate and Local Relations. This issue provides a review of legislation critical to WVU, Higher Education Day at the Capitol, Innovation and Entrepreneurship Day at the Capitol, the budget, legislative activity and vacancies and appointments. Protecting WVU Tech A bipartisan group of House and Senate members have introduced two bills to ensure the continued viability of WVU Tech. HB 4310 (sponsored by Delegates John O’Neal, Bill Anderson, Lynne Arvon, Mick Bates, Paul Espinosa, Barbara Fleischauer, Cindy Frich, Brian Kurcaba, Tim Miley, Eric Nelson and Joe Statler) was introduced last Wednesday. A companion bill, SB 386 (sponsored by Senators Jeff Mullins, Bob Beach, Craig Blair, Ed Gaunch, Mike Hall, Jeff Kessler, Roman Prezioso, Charles Trump and Bob Williams), was introduced Monday. WVU Extension Service SB 403, Relating to Cooperative Extension Workers, was introduced Wednesday by Senators Kent Leonhardt and Bob Williams. This bill seeks to amend §19-8-1 of the West Virginia Code. Current code was written in the 1960s, and this legislation updates code to reflect the current organizational function of WVU Extension Service agents. Innovation and Entrepreneurship Day at the Capitol Last Wednesday, the Legislature welcomed participants of Innovation and Entrepreneurship Day to the Capitol. The event, sponsored by TechConnect West Virginia and the TransTech Research and Business Development program, is a showcase of groups and companies that are working to advance innovation and entrepreneurship across West Virginia.
