West Virginia Tax ruling on tips at hotels and casinos
The West Virginia Supreme Court ruled tips collected by hotels at banquets are not subject to sales taxes.

In Rowlesburg, officials struggle to reconstruct after the 45 floods as Chessie System leases 14 acres to the town for a nominal fee, with possible permanent transfer discussed. Charleston lawmakers consider raising the drinking age to 21 to protect federal highway funds, with Oct 1, 1986 as a looming deadline and mixed prospects for passage.
