Governor Warns Against Refund in Utility Tax Case
Governor Jay Rockefeller argues that a court ruling forcing a $175 million refund of West Virginia utility taxes could endanger state employee and teacher pay raises and likely trigger tax increases. He urges the state Supreme Court to uphold the 1978 law that raised the tax on power generated in West Virginia and sold elsewhere, from 88 cents to $4 per $100 of power. Utilities contest the law as discriminatory between in state and out of state residents.

Debate over new gas production pressed by US leaders
Defense supporters said the new gas was needed to coax Soviet leaders to negotiate a reduction of their own stockpile of chemical weapons. Critics said the United States has enough chemical weapons in its existing arsenal and should stake out the high moral ground internationally by continuing a prohibition on any new production and deployment. Former president Richard M Nixon halted nerve gas production 14 years ago, and Reagan is the first president since then to ask for authority to resume.
