Democratic candidate Lloyd Jackson told about 30 chamber members that Gov. Wise’s plan to cut 36 million from state universities and colleges would harm West Virginia’s tech programs. He urged opposing across the board cuts and warned of mediocrity if funding is reduced further. The executive lineup also highlighted education funding as essential for success.

McGraw Kiss spell out differences at chamber meet
Supreme Court Justice Warren McGraw and possible opponent House Speaker Bob Kiss both reject pro business or pro labor labels. McGraw criticized business leaders with a combative speech, while Kiss outlined a court campaign approach that drew a warmer reception. Both agreed the justice’s role is not to favor any side but to decide issues impartially.

West Virginia Supreme Court race eyed as big money clash
Warren McGraw and Bob Kiss frame their campaigns around changing the court system. A RMS Strategies poll for The Associated Press and Charleston Daily Mail shows McGraw at 44 percent to Kiss 25, with 31 percent undecided. About half of 407 voters say they know little about both men. The race could be the most expensive in state history as business groups fund Kiss and trial lawyers back McGraw amid a Chamber critique of McGraw's workers compensation record.
