Financing Korean War veterans bonus in West Virginia

State Attorney General weighs how to fund a Korean War bonus amid a proposed constitutional amendment. Options include issuing up to 9 million dollars in bonds to retire existing World War I and II bonus bonds or selling enough new bonds to support both groups with new taxes. Estimates show about 71,000 West Virginians may be eligible with average payments around 216 to 259 dollars, plus about 142 thousand for administration, totaling 154 to 183 million dollars.
