WILL BE CELEBRATING A MILESTONE. HE NOW HAS BEEN ON CAPITOL HILL LONGER THAN ANY LAWMAKER IN CONGRESSIONAL HISTORY. THE SENATE WILL MARK HIS SUCCESS WHEN IT CONVENES THIS MORNING BY ACKNOWLEDGING BYRD'S 56 YEARS AND 320 DAYS OF SERVICE. IT'S UNCLEAR IF BYRD WILL BE ABLE TO ATTEND DUE TO FRAIL HEALTH, BUT HE ISSUED A STATEMENT SAYING HIS ONLY REGRET IS THAT HIS LATE WIFE, ERMA, ISN'T THERE WITH HIM. BYRD SAYS SHE WOULD PROBABLY CONGRATULATE HIM AND WARN HIM NOT TO LET HIS ACCOMPLISHMENT GO TO HIS HEAD. BYRD'S COLLEAGUES HAVE ELECTED HIM TO MORE LEADERSHIP POSITIONS THAN ANY SENATOR IN HISTORY. HE HAS CAST MORE THAN 18 THOUSAND VOTES AND, DESPITE FRAGILE HEALTH LATELY, HAS A NEARLY 98 PERCENT ATTENDANCE RECORD OVER THE COURSE OF HIS CAREER. FRIDAY HE WILL BE CELEBRATING HIS 92ND BIRTHDAY
Return to Story IndexSPECIAL SESSION
EYEWITNESS NEWS REPORTER KENNIE BASS HAS THE LATEST ON A PLAN TO SAVE THE FINANCIALLY TROUBLED FUNDS. Kennie Bass/Eyewitness News: Senate President Earl Ray Tomblin calls this special session to order. Although Governor Manchin put several items on the call the biggest piece of legislation deals with municipal pensions. Lawmakers are trying to pass a bill that would allow cities to voluntarily freeze their current systems and put new hires into a pension plan overseen by the state. Sen. Dan Foster/(D) Kanawha: Kennie Bass/Eyewitness News: Although every city is dealing with pension issues, Huntington is at the top of the list. 22 percent of the city's budget is going toward pension debt, a path that will lead to bankruptcy without action. Mayor Kim Wolfe/(R) Huntington: Kennie Bass/Eyewitness News: Prior to this bill the sticking point on this issue has been rural lawmakers refusing to raise taxes to fund pensions for city workers. This compromise allows cities to stretch out their current pension debt over 40 years and open a new financially sound plan to lighten the burden. Del. Jim Morgan/(D) Cabell: THIS PENSION FUND LEGISLATION IS MOVING VERY QUICKLY. LAWMAKERS HOPE TO HAVE THE PLAN OUT OF COMMITTEE AND UP FOR FLOOR VOTES BY THIS MORNING.
