Gov. Justice Vetoes DHHR Split

Gov. Jim Justice vetoed a bill this week that would have split the massive Department of Health and Human Resources into separate agencies, saying he first wants a review of its “issues, bottlenecks, and inefficiencies.” He said in a statement that he’s committed to making the DHHR better, but wants to be certain before acting. Under the bill, the DHHR would have been divided into the Department of Health and Department of Human Resources.
