W. Va. Supreme Court Trims Budget
WEST VIRGINIA....
With West Virginia facing a projected $120 million shortfall, Governor Joe Manchin has called for 3.4% cuts in spending. For the second time this fiscal year, the West Virginia Supreme Court has voted to trim an additional $2 million from its budget. That $2 million represents 4% of the court system's discretionary budget and 1.7% of its overall budget of $117.9 million. Most of the reduction will come from its technology budget, which will slow but not stop plans to install a computer network for all the state's courts.
