Regina asked me to post this letter she sent to the Governor:

Dear Gov. Manchin:

This is a very shabby way to treat a long-time state employee, especially one who goes above and beyond the call of duty, as Fred Armstrong always did.  I would like to see Fred reinstated so we can continue to benefit from his long experience and his superb work ethic.

I am also dismayed at the proposal to put a gift shop and snack bar in place of the library.  We will presumably have a good cafeteria facility in the Capitol Building.  We should accommodate the people doing research in every way possible and give their contributions priority over a gift shop and snack bar.
