Tomblin Makes Brief Return As Senate President
WEST VIRGINIA....
Friday, Acting Governor Earl Ray Tomblin made a brief return as Senate President to preside over the day's floor session before turning the session over to acting Senate President Jeff Kessler. Tomblin made the move after meeting with a handful of senators who are threatening a legal challenge in connection with the Senate's new rules that created the position of acting Senate President. Tomblin told a group of reporters that he is the Senate President, and there are no separation of powers issues, and he will return to the Senate whenever he's available.
