Court upholds mootness in Rockefeller osteopathic cut suit
West Virginia Supreme Court dismissed a suit challenging Gov Rockefeller’s 1 million reduction in the osteopathic school budget after a special legislative session amended the budget act. The court ruled the dispute moot since the amended act sets the available funding at 2.73 million, rendering the challenge moot. The decision leaves in place prior suits and notes other Rockefeller cuts under review, including 314 thousand from the Beer Commission budget.
