Budget battle, tax-cut fights loom at West Virginia Capitol - WOWK

 As the annual legislative session winds down at the capitol, there is going to be a fight over the budget. The House Finance Committee approved $18 million in budget cuts at West Virginia University and another $10 million in cuts from Marshall University. “There’s some questions in there. I can’t fathom why we continue to cut in higher education. Big cuts to WVU and Marshall, our two economic drivers for our state and we continue to cut and make it harder for them, and make it more expensive for kids to go to college,” said Del. Doug Skaff, (D) Kanawha, Minority Leader.
