Support the Education of the Deaf and Blind in West Virginia

Governor Tomlin has vetoed the bill to allow the Schools for the Deaf and Blind's infrastructure to be funded by the School Building Authority. The legislature overwhelming supported this bill after attending a tour and presentation from the schools. The governor chose not to attend the tour, making his decision on incomplete information.

Why is this important?

The Schools have been neglected for decades and is in a state of disrepair. These children are the responsibility of the state and the governor's recent veto sent the wrong signal to the residents of the Schools. They deserve a quality education in a safe environment.
