Debate Continues On West Virginia Mine Safety Bill
In Charleston the House of Delegates weighed a third round of mine safety bill provisions during a noon session. A 45 to 43 vote defeated an amendment to substitute a new bill and advance a United Mine Workers measure. Del Ballard switched from yes to no, enabling a reconsideration request. The Senate approved a $90 million veterans bonus and sent it back for tax funded financing. Senate dissent came from Sen Scott. The session likely ends the four year medical and dental school bill, with the finance committee proposing a two year study committee instead.
