Evans and supported by the ACLU and religious groups plans a legal challenge to a month-old state law providing direct state aid to church related schools. The case may reach the U S Supreme Court and affect Catholic and other denominational schools nationwide.

Robertson Delays Signing Contracts
West Virginia Attorney General C Donald Robertson withholds final signature on two state printing contracts arguing they would violate one year spending limits. Finance Commissioner Joseph Peters notes unit cost contracts remain legal as they set prices and quantities rather than next year’s spending. He plans to discuss the issue with Robertson while expired contracts may be used temporarily. Beckley Raleigh Register editor John Hodel questions potential conflicts involving Gov. Hulett Smith’s family ties to the contractor.
