Justice signs bill ending Education and Arts, proposes new department

Gov. Jim Justice on Wednesday signed House Bill 4006, which dissolves the Department of Education and the Arts and the position of the Cabinet secretary that led it, sending its agencies elsewhere in West Virginia’s government.

But he also said in his 4:41 p.m. news release announcing the signing that “we are going to create the Department of the Arts and Culture and History that will answer directly to me.”
