West Virginia May Lose No. 2 Coal Producer Status
Edwin K. Wiles, president of the state Coal Association, warned West Virginia could slip to third as production declines driven by strikes and weak steel demand. He cited the Norfolk and Western Railway clerks’ six week strike and a weak metallurgical coal market, predicting this year’s output may fall below last year’s. West Virginia led U.S. coal output from the 1930s to 1971.

Virginia Taxpayers Group Pitches Proposition 13.5 Bill
The Virginia Taxpayers Association seeks to push a measure modeled on California's Proposition 13.5 to the 1979 General Assembly. It would let voters force constitutional amendments by petition, cap real property taxes, limit annual assessed value increases, and require two thirds of the General Assembly to raise state taxes. The group has yet to secure a sponsor in the legislature.
