The Republican leadership is rushing a health plan through Congress that will repeal the Affordable Care Act and jeopardize health insurance for more than 230,000 West Virginians.

Senators Manchin and Capito have been invited to attend the following town hall meetings. Representatives Mooney, Jenkins and McKinley have been asked to meet with constituents in their districts.

WV Developmental Disabilities Council Call for Applications

SOLICITING INTEREST for NEW MEMBERS

From the West Virginia Developmental Disabilities Council:

The West Virginia Developmental Disabilities Council is soliciting interest for a limited number of new members to be appointed to the Council beginning July 1, 2017. Specifically, the Council is seeking people with developmental disabilities and/or family members and will look first at applicants from under-represented areas of the State.

The Developmental Disabilities Council is a 32 member organization that was established by an Executive Order of the Governor on March 6, 1972. The Council is supported administratively by the Department of Health and Human Resources and is funded by a grant under the federal Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act (P.L. 106-402).

The Council’s mission is to assure that West Virginians with developmental disabilities receive the services, supports and opportunities they need to achieve independence, productivity, integration and inclusion into the community of their choice.

The Council consists of citizens with developmental disabilities, family members and representatives from State and private organizations concerned with the provision of services to people with developmental disabilities. Over 60% are citizen members who are appointed by the Governor for terms of up to four years.
