Legislature Discharges Hospital Bill and Equity Funding
The Senate sent Gov. Caperton's hospital plan to the governor on a 21-13 vote after a panel found 20 million to equalize teacher salaries. The equity bill to raise teacher pay in poorer counties and a collective bargaining measure moved from the Senate Education Committee to Finance. Caperton aims to balance a 1.75 billion budget with 12.3 million for Greenbrier Center and Denmar State Hospital actions, alongside 20 million from liquor outlet sales.

The study, led by Steven Marlin and colleagues from Boehringer Ingelheim, centers on rhinoviruses that cause about half of common colds and notes the finding is preliminary and not proven in humans.
