WV Governor Signs Budget Bill. However He Trims Spending By Eight Million Dollars.
West Virginia Governor Joe Manchin signed the state’s $ 10.4 billion budget . However the governor used a line item veto to trim next year’s budget by eight million dollars.
A few of the causalities include nearly one million dollars for 4-H camp improvements, $ 250,000 for the Senior Corps volunteer program, slashed $ 125,000 of funding for fairs and festivals.
Manchin sited a weak national economy for the changes in the budget that begins in July.
