Walking Over Water, Good Greens, Vetoes, Citizen Legislators, Women Leaders

This week on At the Leadership Table, General Hoyer revisits insights and perspectives from women leaders featured in past segments. This lookback is in honor of International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month in March. In this two-part series, the General explores the great contributions of women leaders who have made an impact in our local communities, state, and nation.

In the Rooted in the Mountain State Segment provided by the West Virginia Department of Agriculture we will meet a veteran, Corey Clendenin who is a farmer and he was granted funds for his farm through a Veterans and Hero’s pitch contest sponsored by the West Virginia Department of Agriculture. Clendenin grows micro greens, and his farm is in Sissonville near Charleston.

When any state legislature finishes, the Governor must take time to review the adopted bills to see if he will sign or veto the bill. I talked with attorney Alex Macia about the process used in West Virginia. Macia was chief counsel for former West Virginia Governor Bob Wise. Alex provides a front row explanation of what happens.

Our congress is full time, those who are elected have little time to hold down a job other than being a representative or senator. In West Virginia the legislature meets for two months in the wintertime, and its members are regular people who hold a job during the time they are not in session. On the 2026 last day of legislative session Senator Eric Tarr of Putnam discusses the benefits of a part-time legislature.

The Ohio River Town of Middleport held a bridge walk in March, where walkers would come across the bridge into West Virginia then return to Ohio. Over 250 people showed up. We talked with some participants. We talk with Maureen Kloss one of the organizers, Mayor Ben Neese and Meigs Sheriff Scott Fitch.
