Viewers Cite Investment Fund to Cut Deficit in WV
Vieweg told Rotarians that no more deficit financing is planned and that the Legislature approved a Modern Investment Fund yielding higher returns than bonds.

Training, a medical director from WVU, and faster case processing improved office efficiency and accreditation. Special guests included Delegate Eustace Frederick.
