County Commissioner Jane Tabb and John Nissel, County Administrator, explain the need and the proposed structure of the Emergency Services Department in Jefferson County, WV. Bob Burner, Director of the Emergency Services Agency, and Ronald Fletcher, President of Citizens Fire Company, share their thoughts on the new department.
Many thanks to Eleanor Finn and Renny Smith who put the program together and assembled a great panel: County Commissioner Jane Tabb, John Nissel, County Administrator, Bob Burner, Director of the Emergency Services Agency, and Ronald Fletcher, President of Citizens Fire Company. After introductory comments, the floor was opened to written questions from the audience. LWV member Neal Barkus did a masterful job moderating the discussion and Addison Reese compiled audience questions. .
Patti Mulkeen-Corley joined me at the membership table and many people signed up to get more information about joining the League.
Neal Barkus is right: public information events like the ESA forum are a big part of our democracy.

Moderator Dixie Dunn League of Women Voters of Jefferson County WV hosts annual Wrap-Up meeting with our West Virginia legislators: Attending for the discussion and answering questions, posed by their constituents were: Delegate Wayne Clark was elected in 2020 and represents the 65th Delegate District encompassing both Charles Town and Ranson. Delegate John Doyle was elected in 2018 and represents the 67th Delegate District including the eastern areas between Shepherdstown and Harpers Ferry. Delegate Paul Espinosa was elected in 2012 and represents the 66th Delegate District including Summit Point, Middleway, and the southern parts of the County. Senator Hannah Geffert was appointed this past autumn by Governor Jim Justice to fulfill an unexpired seat in the 16th Senatorial District. This District includes most all points east of Interstate 81 including Martinsburg, Charles Town, Shepherdstown, and Shannondale. Senator Patricia Rucker was elected in 2016 and she also represents the 16th Senatorial District along with Senator Geffert. Please note that due to Redistricting last year, the Delegate District numbers will change and the Delegate and Senatorial District lines will move substantially. When you go to vote this May in the primary, the Delegate Districts you see on your ballot will no longer be numbered 65, 66, or 67th. You will see either 97th, 98th, 99th, or 100th on your ballot. Because of our population growth we will now have 4 Delegate Districts instead of 3. As for the Senatorial Districts, the number will remain the same,16, and all of Jefferson County will remain in the 16th Senatorial District. However the portion of Berkeley County which is in this District has been moved considerably. |
