The 2024 West Virginia Legislative Session began in January and runs for 60 days. This past week two Marshall County Commission employees made the trip and were also able to come to Hurricane for a visit with me between events: Commissioner Mike Ferro and County Administrator Betsy Frohnapfel. Ferro previously spent a few years as a member of the House of Delegates.
