Attack on Warner was unfair

I was appalled at the unfair attack on Delegate Bobbie Warner printed in your paper recently. Obviously, the letter-writer is not aware of how tirelessly our delegate works on behalf of Harrison County and our state.

I visit the Capitol regularly during the legislative session, and Ms. Warner is constantly working. While she cares for her elderly parents in Clarksburg and maintains constant communication with them when she is in Charleston, she does not miss committee meetings or sessions, and she is constantly aware of what is going on with the issues facing the Legislature.

A vanity plate is a way that she, as chair of House Roads and Transportation, can generate income for the Division of Highways. As a pro-lifer, she is well-aware that a pro-life license plate would be a big source of revenue.

Perhaps the letter-writer has some personal bias toward that position, but Ms. Warner invited pro-choice delegates to bring a bill to her committee and promised to put it on the agenda. Pro-abortion committee chairs refuse to run pro-life bills in their committees, but Del. Warner believes in freedom of speech and freedom of access to the political process for all.

If every district in West Virginia was as well represented as ours, the state would be in far better shape.
