SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 22
(By Senators Snyder, Boley, Minear, Ross, Helmick, Anderson,
Mitchell, Minard, Sprouse, Fanning and Deem)
Requesting the Department of Administration increase the time
allotment for all Capitol parking meters from two hours to
four hours.
Whereas, The Capitol houses the offices of numerous elected
public officials, including the offices of the highest elected
public officials in the three branches of state government; and
Whereas, The citizens of this state often travel long
distances to petition their elected officials, to attend hearings
and meetings and to volunteer important testimony for the
Legislature and other government agencies; and
Whereas, These citizens often find themselves engaged in
meetings lasting longer than the two hours allotted by the parking
meters under the control of the Department of Administration.
Subsequently they are ticketed and, thus, penalized for
participating in their government; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Legislature hereby requests the Department of
Administration increase the time allotment for all Capitol parking
meters from two hours to four hours; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the Senate is hereby directed to forward a copy of this resolution to the Secretary of
the Department of Administration.
