Wise Will Present Plan to Consolidate West Virginia Cities, Counties
'Local government in West Virginia is organized pretty much the way it was in 1863. We shouldn't assume the government that met our needs in the 19th century will meet our needs in the 21st century.'
Media reports today indicated that West Virginia Gov. Bob Wise's Commission on Governing in the 21st Century will soon present a plan to the state Legislature to consolidate some city and county governments.
