West Virginia eyes timing for ending Rockefeller spending freeze
West Virginia faces uncertain timing for lifting Gov. Rockefeller's January spending freeze as revenues stay ahead of outlays but May shortfalls loom. Finance Commissioner Arnold Margolin cites a current black balance yet cautions no decision on the end date, noting layoffs across agencies and looming funds exhaustion for public defender and health insurance programs. He compares to last year's Mine Workers strike freeze, warning agencies have tightened through postponed purchases and reduced travel while vacancies remain.
