County unit law cleared by Kanawha judge in school case
Judge Arthur Hudson denied an injunction by Charleston taxpayers seeking to block transfer of Charleston independent district property to the Kanawha county board. The ruling upholds the county unit act as constitutional and establishes the legislature’s power to abolish districts and create county boards with title to affected school properties. Hallahan criticized appointments as political, but no comment on personnel. The case is viewed as a statewide test of the act.
