Dismissal of Soldiers Vote Marks Party Split in West Virginia Senate

Democrats backed an income tax endorsement amid long debate, while Republicans opposed the move. The session also saw bills on a railroad commission and county creation, with heated rhetoric and procedural delays before adjournment due to heat and power concerns.
