  • 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.

  • 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.

Legislators are elected by the people to serve as their representative voice in government. The West Virginia Legislature is a citizen legislature -- meaning the members are not full-time legislators, but ordinary citizens who hold other jobs when the Legislature is not meeting. Because the Legislature is comprised of two bodies, the Senate and the House of Delegates, it is called “bicameral.” The Legislative Oath of Office “I do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the State of West Virginia, and faithfully discharge the duties of Senator (or Delegate) according to the best of my ability. I will not accept nor receive, directly nor indirectly, any money or other valuable thing from any corporation, company or person for any vote or influence I may give or withhold, as Senator (or Delegate) on any bill, resolution or appropriation, or for any act I may do or perform as Senator (or Delegate).” 2009 Membership Directory p.

Protecting WVU Tech A bipartisan group of House and Senate members have introduced 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 week. 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 as well.

It will be considered by the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee and the House Government Organization Committee. Right to Work SB 1, Establishing West Virginia Workplace Freedom Act (commonly referred to as Right to Work), was passed by the Senate and House.

    UNDER the DOME MARCH 16, 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 the 2016 legislative session, the key accomplishments critical to WVU, the high-profile bills passed and defeated, and the budget proposals unveiled by the governor and legislature. 2016 Session – An Overview The second session of the 82nd Legislature concluded at midnight on March 12. Governor Tomblin extended the 60-day regular session through Tuesday, March 15, in order to deal with the budget. There was no agreement between the two chambers on the final budget. Therefore, it is expected that the legislature will reconvene in late spring to further consider the budget before the new fiscal year begins on July 1, 2016. A balanced budget must be signed by the governor before that date. A total of 1,896 bills were introduced this session; 276 bills completed legislative action, meaning they passed both chambers. Of that number, 139 originated in the House and 137 originated in the Senate. The full list of completed legislation can be found on the Legislature’s “Bill Status” page at legis.state.wv.us/ Bill_Status/Bills_all_pass.cfm?year=2016&sessiontype=RS&btype=bill. A total of 169 resolutions were adopted this session. To see a full list of the resolutions approved, visit legis. state.wv.us/Bill_Status/res_all_pass.cfm?year=2016&sessiontype=rs&btype=res.
