The Legislature Today: Prevailing Wage Repeal Will See Vote This Week

Listen

    

In the third full week of this legislative session both chambers are poised to vote on bills that could see vetoes from Governor Tomblin–one to make West Virginia a Right-to-Work state, the other, to repeal the state’s prevailing wage.

The chairs of the House and Senate Government Organization Committees discuss the proposed repeal as well as a possible change to the state’s Home Rule Pilot Program.

Members of the House of Delegates continue their clash over a bill necessary to fund the current budget year. The bill calls for a $52 million withdrawal of money from the state’s Rainy Day Fund.
