West Virginia's second area code is seven months away, but the state Public Service Commission wants people to start practicing ten-digit dialing now.

The agency is asking West Virginians to begin using the 304 area code for all calls, even local ones, beginning Saturday.

Spokeswoman Sarah Robertson says ten-digit dialing isn't mandatory, but it is good preparation.

Local calls will require ten-digit dialing come February 28. West Virginia's second area code, 681, will be assigned to numbers and phone service that begin after March 28.

More information is available from the PSC at 1-800-344-5113 or online at the link below.

A committee in the House of Delegates has sent a bill to the House floor that would allow private, faith-based adoption agencies to discriminate against prospective parents based on their sexual orientation. Would you support this?

Yes, I think if it is a private organization it's okay.
No, there should be no discrimination.
It should depend on a case by case basis.
