West Virginia faces sharp cuts to Energy Express reading program
Americorps funding may be slashed by as much as 85 percent risking the Energy Express summer reading program which grew from 85 students in 1994 to about 3,000 in 2003. The program relies on Americorps volunteers guided by Kay Pauley of Sissonville. If cuts occur, momentum could be lost, and about 20,000 fewer volunteer slots may result nationwide. Senator Rockefeller advocates for more support while Bush weighs emergency funding requests.
