West Virginia budget documents show a $35,000 line for the Civil War drama Honey in the Rock was reinserted after initially being dropped. State Treasurer John H. Kelly opposed the funding, saying it was ridiculous to spend state money on a private outfit. Local supporters tied the funding to Centennial observances and a Beckley politician candidate for governor was cited as influencing the move.
