West Virginia’s new governor, Jim Justice, has inherited a $500 million budget shortfall. Amongst the tax and revenue programs sprinkled through the FY18 budget, Gov. Justice has proposed slashing $4.6 million in state funding to West Virginia Public Broadcasting. http://www.wvgazettemail.com/news-politics/20170209/wvpb-46m-budget-cut-could-kill-it Of note in the WVPB response, 75% of staff would be let go and there would be no state funding of the Charleston-based “Mountain Stage.” http://wvpublic.org/post/wvpb-friends-foundation-chairs-proposal-eliminate-states-public-broadcasting-funding (PS: WVPB provided the live video feed of last night’s State of the State address from the House chamber.) _ _ |_>|_> Brad Beam- Belle WV |_>|_> http://www.facebook.com/74bmw
