Manchin says highway funds remain in budget despite veto
Gov. Joe Manchin asserts no money was removed from highway projects in the 2005 06 West Virginia budget while directed spending language was stripped. He says funds stay in the budget to operate several highway authorities and aims to inventory and adjust resources with legislative support from Senate President Tomblin and House Speaker Kiss. He notes the line item veto targeted language, not the allocations, and cites ongoing agency by agency review.
