West Virginia Senate Minority Leader, Stephen Baldwin, has made allegations against Attorney General Patrick Morrisey’s office, claiming they pressured him to block Democratic amendments. Baldwin, a Democrat, stated that Morrisey’s office contacted him multiple times, urging him to stop his party from proposing amendments to bills currently being considered in the state Senate.
Baldwin expressed his concerns about these alleged tactics, noting that it was inappropriate for Morrisey’s office to interfere in the legislative process. He believes that such actions could potentially undermine the integrity of the Senate and the democratic process.
Morrisey’s office has denied the allegations, with a spokesperson stating that they have always respected the legislative process and do not engage in such practices. However, Baldwin remains steadfast in his claims and is calling for an investigation into the matter.
The allegations come at a time when tensions are high between Democrats and Republicans in West Virginia, with both parties vying for control of the state government. It remains to be seen how this controversy will impact the ongoing legislative session.
