Manchin open to 3.5 percent raise for West Virginia teachers
Gov. Joe Manchin signals willingness to back a 3.5 percent raise for educators, correction officers and state workers after the House endorsed the higher rate. The move adds 55 million to his proposed 2007 08 budget, with several counties already staging sick outs as unions push for larger increases. The Senate Education Committee approved the raise as delegates depart, and the bill heads to the Senate Finance Committee.
