Department Of Transportation Over-Budgets
WEST VIRGINIA....
The West Virginia state Department of Transportation says the agency set aside $54 million to cover snow removal, overtime and materials this past winter, but costs ballooned to $66 million by the time spring arrived...taking them to $12 million over budget. Transportation officials say they will probably receive only $1 million in federal disaster funds from FEMA, less than a tenth of the amount hoped for. They've already received $400,000.
