Chamber Membership Directory A New Year ~ A New Look! Marty Chapman, President The Chamber is excited to announce a new look for the 2012 Membership Directory.

With the increasing use of the Internet as a research and communications platform, word of mouth has become an even more useful tool. At the Chamber, we know th...

(Second of two parts) In 2011, Putnam Countians witnessed the end of a protracted plan to extend U.S. 35 by installing toll roads, a slowdown and recovery of production at the Buffalo Toyota manufacturing plant and contention from redistricting plans and financially struggling county fire departments seeking an increase in the fire fee.

Single-Member Districts Marty Chapman, President At their June 27th meeting, the Putnam Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors passed a resolution in support of Single-Member Districts. Why is the adoption of single-member districts so important? The primary reasons include the following: West Virginia is out of step with the great majority of other states that guarantee their citizens "One person, one vote." Forty-eight states have equal member districts and forty of those have only single-member districts. WV is one of only two states that have districts with more than three members. Currently, the WV House of Delegates has a mishmash of three-, four-, and as many as seven-member districts. Delegates who represent single-member districts are from the local community and are better k...
