Delegate Miley Shows some Guts on Parental Notification
Fifty Democrats got an endorsement from the WV for Life in 2004 for their position on abortion. Tim Miley was one of only five Democrats to keep his word and voted to discharge the Parental notification bill (SB519) out of committee. The vote failed by a vote of 62-37, which effectively killed the bill. This bill would have reformed the law requiring parental notification before a minor could have an abortion. The bill intended to close a loophole that allowed waivers of the law without judicial oversight. Whatever you think of the bill, Tim Miley had the courage to buck the straight line party vote and stick to his earlier promise. It would be nice if the others would have done the same. Can't wait to hear Tim's views on taxes.

I applaud Tim Mileys' courage to at least state his views publicly . I just found out after searching the internet for a Roll Call record of the West Virginia House of Delegates that its not recorded. Isn't that convenient? That has to change. If anyone knows where to find it let me know. I may have overlooked it.
Roll Call vote accountability will increase public trust.
John Overington R.Del Berkeley County.Martinsburg,WV is working on this Roll Call Vote Record.

This may be old news I can't get hold of Mr Overinton to confirm the Status.
Jim, I got hold of John Overington: here are his comments.
"Gundovald,
Thanks for the note. The Democrat House leadership finally agreed to roll call all bills a few years ago so the public has that accountability tool. At www.conservatives.org you can see how we vote on a variety of issues. Keep up the good work with your web site.
Best wishes,
Del. John Overington

" Doesn't it seem like the system is working when a public official actually gives a response, even if you are not his constituent? Showing a pulse to the people by acknowledging a stimuli helps us to know that they are still alive? ...G
Great Job G....,and you are correct
we can make the system work.
I will visit that site.
It looks like Del Overington R. Berkeley Co has a good track record on this Taxpayer scorecard. Over 97%. Now theres a
politician I can vote for.
