  • When the West Virginia Legislature Is in Session, the Rotunda
    RoBERT C. BYRD WEST VIRGINIAN OF THE CENTURY by Charlotte Weber hen the West Virginia Legislature is in session, the rotunda of the state Capitol in Charleston can be a crowded, noisy W place, one where silk- suited lobbyists, cell phones tucked in their ears, " ... mak eno regularly rub shoulders with mistake about it, everyday folks-men in worn blue when Byrd speaks, jeans, work shirts and their favorite ball caps, women in simple people listen." dresses-all trying their best to get the lawmakers to do their bidding. In contrast, when the Legislature is not in session, the rotunda generally presents a deserted, lonely aspect. The footsteps of a solitary visitor echo down the marble hallway. The visitor stops and silently contemplates a feature of the Capitol rotunda that never changes. There, day in and day out, a bigger-than­ life bronze statue of Robert C. Byrd stands guard, the statue's eyes keeping silent watch in much the same way that the living, breathing Byrd has so long kept careful watch over the West Virginia he loves so much. The term "legend" is one that's been much cheapened by overuse. It's a term the media are quick to apply to any ballplayer with more than a handful of successful seasons or a pop singer or film star whose appeal has transcended the years. Nonetheless, there are real legends­ distinctive individuals who have made their mark in such exemplary, praiseworthy fashion that they stand out among even the most exalted of their contemporaries. Certainly Robert Carlyle Byrd is such an individual.

Ponton In 1960, John F. Kennedy, a wealthy New England Catholic, traveled to a rural, Protestant state to contend in an election that few thought he could win. While many scholars have examined the impact of Kennedy’s victory in the West Virginia primary, few have analyzed the importance that his visit to the state in 1960 and his ensuing administration had on West Virginia. Kennedy enacted a number of policies directed specifically toward relieving the poverty that had plagued West Virginia since statehood.

  • 2011 Transforming Lives & Eliminating Health Disparities
    West Virginia University Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center Development Report 2011 Transforming Lives & Eliminating Health Disparities Faculty, students, and staff at the Health Sciences Center – including all of our schools and campuses, and all our WVU Healthcare affiliates – have been reviewing our priorities and planning the future of our institution throughout the past year. The strategic planning process initiated by WVU President Jim Clements has involved hundreds of people at the HSC, and has resulted in a renewal of our dedication to our core missions. Transforming Lives and Eliminating Health Disparities We have identified five priorities for the HSC over the next five years: • Contribute to the health of West Virginians through leading edge research programs • Promote a vibrant environment devoted to diversity, learning & scholarship • Raise the health status of West Virginians • Foster a culture of high purpose, accountability & accomplishment • Deliver high quality, effective patient-centered care Each of our schools has set specific measurable goals under these priorities and will publicly report on their progress as we move forward. To see more detail on the HSC Strategic Plan and follow our progress, visit www.hsc.wvu.edu/hsc2020. Our success in the pursuit of these goals has been immeasurably strengthened in the past year by the impressive generosity of our donors. Not only have several individuals, families, corporations and foundations stepped up to create transformational, million-dollar-plus endowments, but an enormous number of alumni, parents, friends and former patients have reached into their pockets to support our students, our research programs and our healthcare efforts. The total raised to support our schools and programs in FY 2011 was $21.2 million.

Dear Friends, Welcome to this beautiful memory book for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Information and Library Science (SILS). As part of our commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the School, the words and photographs in these pages will give you engaging views of the rich history we share. These are memories that do indeed illuminate our past and chal- lenge us to imagine a vital and innovative future. In the 1930’s when SILS began, the United States had fallen from being the land of opportunity to a country focused on eco- nomic survival. The income of the average American family had fallen by 40%, unemployment was at 25% and it was a perilous time for public education, with most communities struggling to afford teachers and textbooks for their children.

  • Key Vote NO on President Biden's Partisan Budget Resolution, S.Con.Res. 5
    February 3, 2021 Key Vote NO on President Biden’s Partisan Budget Resolution, S.Con.Res. 5 On behalf of our activist community, I urge you to contact your senators and ask them to vote NO on President Joe Biden’s blatantly partisan budget, S.Con.Res. 5. The entire purpose of S.Con.Res. 5 is to force legislation through Congress on party lines. Although the nascent Biden administration has had a message of “unity,” the use of budget reconciliation means that bipartisanship is being cast aside to advance a partisan agenda. Budget reconciliation is a special, fast-track legislative process tied to a budget resolution that instructs specific committees to produce legislation tied directly to revenues, direct outlays, and/or the statutory limit on the debt held by the public. The process begins with the passage of a budget resolution with reconciliation instructions to committees to make changes based on certain dollar amounts. Legislation that is produced from this process is given privilege in the Senate. This means the normal 60-vote cloture threshold to limit debate does not apply. Budget reconciliation cannot be used to make changes to Social Security. Policy changes that do not directly impact revenues and outlays risk the legislation losing its privileged status in the Senate. This is known as the “Byrd Rule,” named after Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.), laid out as federal statute in 2 U.S.C. 644. The Biden administration and congressional Democrats plan to use budget reconciliation for a $1.9 trillion proposal that’s framed as another round of COVID-19 relief.

  • The Filibuster and Reconciliation: the Future of Majoritarian Lawmaking in the U.S
    The Filibuster and Reconciliation: The Future of Majoritarian Lawmaking in the U.S. Senate Tonja Jacobi†* & Jeff VanDam** “If this precedent is pushed to its logical conclusion, I suspect there will come a day when all legislation will be done through reconciliation.” — Senator Tom Daschle, on the prospect of using budget reconciliation procedures to pass tax cuts in 19961 Passing legislation in the United States Senate has become a de facto super-majoritarian undertaking, due to the gradual institutionalization of the filibuster — the practice of unending debate in the Senate. The filibuster is responsible for stymieing many legislative policies, and was the cause of decades of delay in the development of civil rights protection. Attempts at reforming the filibuster have only exacerbated the problem. However, reconciliation, a once obscure budgetary procedure, has created a mechanism of avoiding filibusters. Consequently, reconciliation is one of the primary means by which significant controversial legislation has been passed in recent years — including the Bush tax cuts and much of Obamacare. This has led to minoritarian attempts to reform reconciliation, particularly through the Byrd Rule, as well as constitutional challenges to proposed filibuster reforms. We argue that the success of the various mechanisms of constraining either the filibuster or reconciliation will rest not with interpretation by † Copyright © 2013 Tonja Jacobi and Jeff VanDam. * Professor of Law, Northwestern University School of Law, t-jacobi@ law.northwestern.edu.

WALCOTT, Director United States Geological Survey. 3 A GAZETTEER OF WEST VIRGINIA. HENRY GANNETT. DESCRIPTION OF THE STATE. The State of West Virginia was cut off from Virginia during the civil war and was admitted to the Union on June 19, 1863. As orig­ inally constituted it consisted of 48 counties; subsequently, in 1866, it was enlarged by the addition -of two counties, Berkeley and Jeffer­ son, which were also detached from Virginia. The boundaries of the State are in the highest degree irregular. Starting at Potomac River at Harpers Ferry,' the line follows the south bank of the Potomac to the Fairfax Stone, which was set to mark the headwaters of the North Branch of Potomac River; from this stone the line runs due north to Mason and Dixon's line, i. e., the southern boundary of Pennsylvania; thence it follows this line west to the southwest corner of that State, in approximate latitude 39° 43i' and longitude 80° 31', and from that corner north along the western boundary of Pennsylvania until the line intersects Ohio River; from this point the boundary runs southwest down the Ohio, on the northwestern bank, to the mouth of Big Sandy River.

  • Regulations Summary 2019
    WEST VIRGINIA FISHINGRegulations Summary 2019 wvdnr.gov From the Director Last year the DNR released an updated, online interactive map that provides valuable information on all aspects of fishing and hunting adventures. DNR personnel are continuing to update information and produce new, useful maps. After hearing about the need from anglers in an online survey, DNR personnel collected lake depth data and processed new bathymetry maps for 35 lakes across the state. These maps are now available on the interactive fishing map and downloadable to print or take with you on your mobile device. Also, anglers can now access the real-time streamflow conditions from the U.S. Geological Survey on our interactive fishing map. The real-time information allows anglers to check on flow and make decisions about whether fishing conditions are ideal before heading out to a stream or river. Visit wvdnr.gov/gis for more details and links to the interactive map and other map pages. You helped fund this project through the Sport Fish Restoration Program, using excise taxes on selected fishing equipment and boat fuel. I encourage you to take advantage of West Virginia’s abundant natural resources and go fishing every chance you get. And take a friend or family member with you. It’s a great way to relax and enjoy each other’s company. Stephen S. McDaniel, DNR Director DISTRICT OFFICES Main Office - South Charleston, WV 25303 324 4th Avenue Fish Management − Mark T.

  • Walk Across West Virginia Route Descriptions
    WWAALLKK AACCRROOSSSS WWEESSTT VVIIRRGGIINNIIAA RROOUUTTEE DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONNSS Few of us have the time to actually Walk Across West Virginia (WAWV), but we can do a virtual Walk Across West Virginia by walking a distance equal to walking across the state. On the following pages are descriptions of five routes across West Virginia. Two are existing trails, two are hypothetical straight line routes through the geographical center of the state and one is a combination of trails and public roads. The longest route across the state is 281 miles. If you walked 5.5 miles a week or 21.5 miles a month, in your local neighborhood, you would equal the longest distance in less than a year. So why not set a personal goal of Walking Across West Virginia this year! Record the date you reach a specific mileage point on one of the routes to track your progress. You can use the mileage tracking chart found on the WAWV website to track your accumulated miles. Include your family members in your trip. You might enhance the “virtual” experience by actually walking parts of the existing trails nearest you, or by visiting some of the areas traversed by the hypothetical routes. The West to East route across the state also includes “trivia questions” about West Virginia. See how much you know about West Virginia.!
