West Virginia Should Fund Veterans Bonus via Turnpike Bonds
An editorial argues Governor Patteson faced limits in paying a veterans bonus and proposes a noninflationary approach. It suggests funding through veterans bonds backed by a proposed West Virginia Memorial Turnpike, using self liquidating bonds bought by the state and marketed by bonding companies, to preserve credit and deliver long term value. The piece notes opposition to the bonus plan but supports honoring veterans without triggering inflation.
