If there's one point every
legislator in West Virginia agrees on,
it's the need for economic
development. But every one of the
134 lawmakers at the Statehouse
probably has a different idea of the
best way to achieve economic
prosperity. One approach,
distributing funds through the
state's Economic Development
Grant Committee, has been the
focus of much attention.
During the final moments of our
recent special session, the
Legislature adopted a bill intended
to resuscitate the economic
development grant project effort,
which faces significant legal
challenges.
Based on an earlier state
Supreme Court ruling, Gov. Bob
Wise proposed new legislation that
reconfigures the original grant
committee, which is charged with
deciding what projects will be
funded with about $215 million in
proceeds from a bond sale that is to
Delegate Virginia Mahan
be repaid with $19 million a year in
video lottery revenue. After some
debate over other potential changes,
the Legislature passed the bill.
Unfortunately, even though the
newly formed grant committee will
comply with Supreme Court's
decision, members won't be able to
distribute funds until another legal
challenge questioning the use of
video lottery revenue is resolved. As
long as that funding mechanism is
being challenged, the state will be
unable to sell the bonds.
But the state plans to forge
ahead. Gev. Wise has said he will
quickly reappoint the grant
committee, which will then
reconsider all projects that were on
the table last year, when the first
grant committee was formed.
The current effort began during
the 2002 legislative session with
legislation creating a committee to
select projects throughout the state.
Because of a court challenge and the
ensuing state Supreme Court

The following information is from
The CDC (Center for Disease
Control)•
Cumulative AIDS Cases
The cumulative number of AIDS
cases reported to CDC is 816,149•
Adult and adolescent AIDS cases
total • 807,075 with 666,026 cases in
males and 141,048 cases in females.
Through the same time period, 9,074
AIDS cases were reported in
children under age 13.
Cumulative Cases by Age
Of the total AIDS cases reported
through December 2001, patients'
ages at time of diagnosis were
distributed as follows:
decision declaring the structure Of
the committee unconstitutional,
Gev. Wise added the issue to his call
for a special session regarding
Workers Compensation:
Once the grant committee is up
and running again, it will be up to
members to decide whether any new
proposed projects can also be
considered.
The concept of such a grant
committee isn't new. In the mid-
1990s, the Legislature decided to sell
bonds, using lottery funds to repay
the debt, and direct the money
toward a host of projects, including
the Clay Center for the Arts and
Sciences in Charleston and
Stonewall Jackson Lake conference
center in Lewis County•
In adopting the latest bill, the
Legislature included a provision
that allows the committee to allocate
funds for repairs at the state Capitol
Complex, as well as a new
stipulation that if the grant
committee decides to Create a
revolving loan fund, the Legislature
must grant final approval of any
loans.
In response to the funding
challenge, Gov. Wise's
administration suggested shifting
the grant funding from video lottery
revenue to revenue from traditional
lottery games until the lawsuit is
resolved. But because the traditional
lottery account is used to pay for
school construction bonds, many
legislators didn't want to jeopardize
that funding stream in any way.
The funding issue aside, some
state officials have predicted there
may be an additional court challenge
based on our new legislation, so it's
difficult to predict how long it will
take to clear all the legal hurdles.
In passing the grant committee
bill, the Legislature concluded a
seven-day special session that was
Under 5: 6,975, Ages 5 to • 12: interventions for this group, split into two parts, the larger
2,099, Ages 13 to 19: 4,428, Ages 20 The reported AIDS cases among portion of which took place in June.

60 to 64:12,898 65 or older: 11,555.
Clearly the implications of these
figures is that startling rise's of
reported cases occur in ages in the
late 20's through the late 40's.
However the CDC says that these
figures are shifting and earlier
instances of AIDS are on the rise in
the teen populations. In addition the
rise in cases in the late 20's can often
be attributed to behaviors in your
teens and early 20's. In other words
you may catch the virus when you

the unborn child who may be in your

Compensation crisis, the
Legislature also approved some
supplemental appropriations,
passed legislation to bring the state
into compliance with federal tax
laws, and made technical changes to
legislation adopted during the 2003
regular session.
