T here was a town hall in Hampshire County Friday evening, headed by Sens Charles Trump and Craig Blair, and delegates elect Hillenbrand and Darren Thorne. Republicans all. a lot of Democrats showed up, from Morgan County as well as Hampshire. Probably more than the legislators bargained for. Some lively and heated discussion ensued. Unfortunately, can't cover too much in just an hour.

A main reason that I voted against the ballot amendments was the knowledge that once they became a part of the constitution, they would be very hard to undo. I was especially against #4. I really didn't care about #3.
I find it curious that a constitutional amendment passes with 50% +1, but a bus levy needs 60% +1. Shouldn’t a change to the WV Constitution be a heavy lift? 65%, 70%?

Glad you found us! I heard about that meeting, sadly after the fact.
