Lawmakers Concerned About Open Door Policy
WEST VIRGINIA....
Lawmakers were at West Virginia's Capitol Sunday for the start of interim committee meetings as they began preparing for the beginning of Wednesday's legislative session. Delegates and senators, who are a little on edge after the Arizona shooting, say maybe it's time they should be taking more steps from a security stand point. Lawmakers say this incident is making them more aware of the open door policy at the Capitol building, but they don't want to react in a way that people can't come there, but they agree they do need to have a tighter set of security. Steps have been taken recently to secure the Capitol grounds.
