Welfare suit seeks restoration as McDowell faces cuts
A West Virginia high court case challenges DHHR over public assistance terminations. The DHHR counters only 171 WV WORKS recipients were terminated from Dec 2001 to Feb 2002, with March data pending. McDowell County leaders cite 7.1 percent February unemployment and note job-creating projects, training programs, and planned prisons as future growth engines while families seek alternatives amid the 60 month lifetime limit.
