CHARLESTON — Following an audit that said the Hatfield McCoy Trail Authority was not acting in accordance with state law, lawmakers Wednesday passed a bill out of committee that will reorganize the authority. The new authority will be a "multi-county joint development authority" with two members from each of the nine counties it passes through—Boone, Kanawha, Lincoln, Logan, McDowell, Mercer, Mingo, Wayne and Wyoming. One member must be from the tourism industry, while others are to be from the mining, logging, natural gas or other extractive industry, the bill says. SB508 also says the reorganization does not alter the current debts or obligations of the current authority. Auditors found that some current members had engaged in contracts on behalf of the authority, including $1.3 million in contracts that benefited other interests of the executive director, board members or their families. The bill specifically prohibits contracts that benefit an those associated with the authority's board or their families when a company ownership of more than 5 percent exists. SB508 is referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. The Hatfield McCoy Trail system encompasses 700 miles of all-terrain vehicle trails.
So the saga continues. It will surely get more complicated now that the State Government has created a huge bureaucracy within the system. BUT, maybe some was needed...MD | |

| I forwarded the link to a popular talk radioshow host who's doing live broadcasts from the Capital during the current legislative session. Hope he gets into it. Thanks | |
