Budget cuts threaten McDowell drug war, Lambert warns
McDowell County Commission president Gordon Lambert says proposed cuts to the prosecuting attorney and clerk offices could cripple the county's drug battle. He opposed the cuts, noting no revenue decrease but a rise, and cites losses to a top investigator and voter registration funding. A mandamus suit seeks to restore funding for the prosecutor and clerk offices.

Flood-litigation settles over West Virginia 2001 floods
Charleston AP reports a series of settlements ending lawsuits filed after the July 8 2001 floods in southern West Virginia. Thousands sued coal producers landowners and others alleging surface mining logging and related activities contributed to about 143 million dollars in damage. Defendants cite seven inches of rain as an act of God. The state Supreme Court revived the case last year overruling circuit court rulings in favor of the defense.
