West Virginia House passes balanced budget with Rainy Day draw
The House Finance Committee approved a balanced budget using 72.9 million dollars in unappropriated funds and 31.7 million dollars from the Rainy Day Fund plus 2 million from its own accounts to close a 466 million gap. Additional funding supports PEIA health plans, road maintenance, and pension liabilities while avoiding tax increases. Governor Tomblin signals a possible special session to resolve differences with the Senate’s approach.
