Greenbrier annexation limits clear in new bill
The West Virginia House passed HB4667 to restore density and review requirements for annexation. The bill would require 500 people per square mile, add county and circuit court review, and bar annexing land including businesses with more than 500 employees such as The Greenbrier resort. The measure passed 71 to 25, amid debate over voting rights and planning.

Tobacco bonding plan approved by West Virginia Senate
The Wise administration won Senate support to use tobacco settlement payments to issue bonds that would accelerate paying down teachers' retirement system debt. A 26 to 6 vote sent the bill to the House on deadline day, with advocates arguing the move could save about 3.1 billion in pension debt and preserve settlement funds for health programs. Opponents warn the plan diverts funds from smoking prevention.
