MANY SPEAK OUT AGAINST TRANSFER OF FUNDS

Several people in West Virginia stood up to speak out against the transfer of COVID relief money.  Governor Justice’s plan to shuffle 678-million-dollars from the American Rescue Plan to state development plans received opposition from 21 people at a public hearing.  House Bill-2883 would transfer 500-million-dollars to the state Economic Development Authority, 177 million to the state Water Development Authority and one million to Marshall University.
