WVa lawmakers pass $4.5 billion budget with cuts to colleges - WDTV

 West Virginia lawmakers approved a $4.5 billion budget on Saturday that leaves the state’s two top universities with a combined $28 million cut, unless future surpluses can kick in to cover it. The 23-11 vote in the Senate came on the final day of the 60-day legislative session, during which a Republican supermajority fell short on its top priority of cutting the state’s income tax. Aside from that, Republican Gov. Jim Justice hailed it as a “great session.”
