Gov. Jim Justice discusses his latest executive order, which would cancel out outdated executive orders relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, at his Monday pandemic briefing.
After 12 months of dozens of executive orders in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Gov. Jim Justice announced Monday he would issue a new executive order canceling outdated executive orders and providing clarity as the pandemic continues.
“It can be confusing for the public to keep track of all the different orders, so today I’m signing a new executive order that’s cleaning up and doing away with a great many of the executive orders that have been in place,” Justice said during his Monday COVID-19 briefing at the Capitol.

Local historian Thomas James recently donated three military reference books that he compiled and gave to the three Marshall County libraries–Moundsville, Cameron and Benwood-McMechen.
The book is titled “Honored Patriots of Marshall County, West Virginia.”
James undertook this research project at the invitation of the Marshall County Commission. His work details the military service of 464 county soldiers who died in the line of duty.
The scope of the project encompasses those who served in the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the Gulf Wars.
The names of these soldiers are engraved on five granite monuments in the Veterans Plaza on the Marshall County Courthouse.
