LLAW: Make Some Noise - Call the Governor for WV Children and Family services!
by League of Women Voters of West Virginia 05 Jun '26

05 Jun '26

[image: image.png] Tell Governor Morrisey to support West Virginia families in need! The WV Legislature has approved annual funding to help Family Support Centers, provide childcare subsidies, fund clothing vouchers and make Legal Aid available. These are necessary services that WV families rely on. The governor has delayed sending these funds as typically scheduled, and has hinted that he will withhold this funding based on a manufactured “deficit” of his own creation. There is also a concern that he is contemplating sending this money to businesses owned by his out of state supporters. (WV Watch Article <https://westvirginiawatch.com/2026/05/27/while-tanf-cuts-loom-morrisey-cons…> ) *>>>>> We need all of our voices to apply public pressure to the governor to do the right thing. Take a moment to call the governor’s office at 304-558-2000 or fill out this quick online action alert <https://app.oneclickpolitics.com/campaign-page?cid=TH2zVONo0lpefWeZCCrGz>from our friends at the Legislative Action Team for Children and Families. <<<<<<*

Check out our new post! As we near the celebration of our Nation's 250th anniversary, the League of Women Voters believes we should all be aware of the Supreme Court's most recent actions to disable the Voting Rights Act. Congress can fix this; it is their duty. https://lwvmorgantown.substack.com/p/voting-rights-act-worth-the-fight [image: 2026-05-31 composed.jfif]

SAVE THE DATE for 2026 Council - MAY 16, 10:00 a.m.
by League of Women Voters of West Virginia 28 Mar '26

28 Mar '26

[image: Text Description automatically generated with medium confidence] *LWVWV Call to Council* The LWV of West Virginia Council meeting will be held on May 16, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. via Zoom. More information will be forthcoming but *please save this date*! The LWV of WV has accomplished so much and we plan to do even more during the upcoming election season. Your help and your support are essential. The proposed budget for June 2006-May 2027 is attached for your review. Our by-laws state the budget should be available at least 6 weeks before the Council meeting. The Board approved this draft budget at its March 21, 2026, meeting. Thank you to Teresa Koon, our treasurer, and the Budget Committee for preparing the draft budget. The key highlights of the budget: - In order to meet expenses we must transfer funds from reserves. - The budget includes funds to update our website and improve outreach through social media. - Our commitment to following the state legislature and publishing a Legislative scorecard requires an extraordinary amount of work so we have begun using AI assistance (by subscription) and a professional bill tracker to help. Please share your thoughts about discussion topics for the Council meeting agenda at: lwvofwv(a)gmail.com

Make Some Noise to Get the Childcare Bill Signed Into Law
by League of Women Voters of West Virginia 19 Mar '26

19 Mar '26

[image: lwv msn logo.png] 📣Make Some (More) Noise! 📣in support of good childcare policy! With help from many advocates, a bill to improve the status of childcare in WV, HB 4191 <https://www.wvlegislature.gov/Bill_Status/bills_text.cfm?billdoc=hb4191%20s…> passed the Legislature! There is now one final hurdle to the bill becoming law: The Governor has until April 4th to do one of 3 things: 1. Sign the bill into law 2. Let the bill become law without his signature 3. Veto the bill (A veto would effectively kill this bill unless the legislature were to reconvene and override it.) We want the Governor to choose option 1 or 2! ACTION: ✳️ Call the Governor’s office at 304-558-2000 or write a comment in support of signing HB 4191 on the Governor’s website here: https://wv.accessgov.com/governor/Forms/Page/submitcomment-governor/contact… Talking Points about HB 4191: HB 4191 helps to #solvechildcare by taking a broad approach to help families, employers and childcare workers: - Adds tax incentives for businesses to sponsor or provide childcare for their workers. [Helps employers!] - Requires that the state pay childcare subsidies based on the status of a child’s enrollment rather than a daily rate. This stabilizes the funding stream for childcare providers that serve lower income families. [Helps childcare providers!] - Ensures that the government is using an accurate model to determine cost of care (right now they are paying a very low amount that doesn't cover actual childcare costs,) when paying subsidies in the future. *[Forward-looking stability!] * - Gives power to the Department of Human Services which manages state childcare funding to reduce the cliff effect that families encounter when coming off of subsidized childcare [Helps families!]
