PEIA Task Force members divided into subcommittees

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The 29-member PEIA Task Force, charged with finding a fix for the health insurance program for state workers, has been split into three subcommittees.

A Tuesday news release said the division, which was discussed at the task force’s first meeting last week, is designed to help with the group’s workload.

The creation of the task force was a key ingredient in the ending of the nine-day strike by education workers earlier this month.
