West Virginians face poor child welfare in new study
The Annie E. Casey Foundation reports West Virginia ranks 48th among states in child well being with about 13 percent lacking home telephone service.

Improvements are seen in some indicators, yet poverty and high risk family structures rose in several metrics. Gov. Wise extended the flood emergency to Aug 2, 2002, as recovery continues and emergency prep materials are prepared.
