Panel to Consider Bill To Reduce W Va Debt
Charleston WV AP A state Senate committee will discuss a compromise bill backed by labor and business to cut West Virginia’s 300 million dollar debt to the federal Unemployment Trust Fund.

The National Governors Association backed a resolution calling for a federal budget freeze with Social Security cost of living allowances excluded. Governors Graham and Lamm opposed the COLA freeze while Domenici and Gray warned the move alone won’t cut the deficit or reach a $50 billion annual saving.
