House leaders making the move

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Some office shifting is getting started at the State Capitol where members of House Speaker Tim Miley’s leadership team are starting to move into their new roles.

Del. Brent Boggs (D-Braxton) is the new House Finance Committee Chairman.

New House Finance Committee Chair Brent Boggs is making the move.

“I have truly enjoyed serving as Majority Leader but, I have to tell you, the opportunity to go up and chair the Finance Committee is truly one that I have been interested in for a long, long time,” said Delegate Boggs. (D-Braxton, 34).

In the past, he has served as Finance Vice Chair.

He said his new role will be an important one during continued tight budget times.

“FY ’15 will probably be the toughest year that we have out there in the foreseeable future,” Boggs said on Wednesday’s MetroNews “Talkline.”

Boggs is swapping jobs with Delegate Harry Keith White (D-Mingo, 21) who has served as House Finance Chair for the past six years.  White will be the new House Majority Leader.

Delegate Tim Manchin (D-Marion, 50) is taking over as House Judiciary Committee Chairman, the role Miley had held before being selected to be Speaker.

Interim meetings for state lawmakers wrapped up Wednesday afternoon in Charleston.
