So what reasons is Mr. Vernon Criss giving for holding up the vote? That sort of seems like an important (missing) piece of information here.

Thanks! Didn’t have a whole lot of details, but at least it looks like it is going to come to pass. While I am against most government spending of any kind, since it’s going to get spent, anyway, it may as well go to something useful

I read the link below, which has details, but not reasons. The usual reason is that to get a bill to pass there has to be agreement on how to spread the money around, so that everybody who gets to vote gets a cut that satisfies them. That's complicated and difficult.

So basically, a RINO strikes again, and people keep re-electing criminals like him.

Thank you for highlighting this damaging hold up in the West Virginia Finance Committee. This is the type of citizen journalism that can help bring good change to policy. Please keep us updated to the resolution of the 200M.

I forwarded this to a relative in Shepardstown- I hope she spreads the word!
