Senate OKs amended intermediate court bill, which now goes to governor


CHARLESTON – A bill that would create a new intermediate appellate court is headed to the governor s desk.
On April 1, the state Senate concurred on amendments made in the House of Delegates to Senate Bill 275. The vote was 21-12. That followed the House passing the amended bill by a 56-44 vote March 30.
Instead of the Senate plan for two districts, the House version only has one district. That also trims the estimated initial budget from nearly $8 million to about $3.6 million and the continuing annual cost from about $5.7 million to $2.1 million.
The Senate also had the judges serving 12-year terms, like those of the state Supreme Court justices. The House version changes that to 10-year terms. ....

Joyce said from March through December last year, plaintiffs’ lawyers spent more than $260,000 to air more than 3,300 legal services television ads mentioning COVID-19 or coronavirus in West Virginia. ....

Justice settles gubernatorial residency case, agrees to reside at seat of government


Justice
CHARLESTON – Gov. Jim Justice will reside in Charleston, according to a settlement in a case filed by a former state delegate.
The settlement order was filed March 1 in Kanawha Circuit Court. Isaac Sponaugle filed the lawsuit as a citizen against Justice in 2018.
“The parties agree that Respondents’ voluntary agreement to reside at the seat of government within the meaning of the Constitution renders this case moot and the case should be dismissed,” the order states.
Sponaugle
Justice said he’s pleased the case has been resolved.
“The Governor will, of course, abide by the recent ruling of the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, and he and Mr. Sponaugle agree that the case is now moot,” spokesman Jordan Damron said in a statement. “The Governor will continue working hard every day on the issues that matter to the lives of West Virginians.” ....
