CHARLESTON, W. Va. (AP) - The West Virginia House of Delegates has passed a state budget proposal that includes personal income tax cuts and the reinstatement of a film tax credit.
The budget passed by the House Tuesday heads back to the Senate, which passed its version last week. The House version includes 10% income tax cuts that have not advanced in the Senate, which also hasn’t fully addressed the film tax credit.
Both chambers have passed 5% pay raises for state workers. On Monday the House tacked on additional $7,450 raises for state police.
The House version includes funding cuts to West Virginia and Marshall universities. Available surplus funding could restore those cuts.
