Pressing issues such as Gov. Bob
Wise's midyear spending cuts arid
the potential $120 million shortfall
next budget year are grabbing
headlines, and rightfully so, but
legislative interim committees also
have been zeroing in on many other
topics that will be before the full
Legislature during the upcoming
2004 session.
Here is a sample of a few issues
of interest discussed during the
December interim meetings:
* A problem of growing concern
that will likely be tackled this
session is the massive unfunded
liability among city police and
firefighter pension plans. An interim
committee on pensions has been told
that the total debt for 49 of West
Virginia's 53 cities and towns hovers
around $511 million, meaning that
if every officer and firefighter retired
today, cities and counties would be
short by $511 million.
About half of the $511 million
deficit can be attributed to the
liabilities of the state's three largest
cities: Charleston, Huntington and
Wheeling. Huntington's firefighter
pension plan has almost no assets
at all and the police pension plan is
only 2 percent funded. Charleston's
police and firefighter pension plans
are only 18 percent funded, being
about $134 million short. Wheeling

In addition, the West Virginia suggested that the money be used
Municipal League has suggested the
Legislature allow cities and counties
to bring in more revenue through
increased fees - a $5 surcharge on
every court case. Because many
cities and counties have failed to set
aside enough money to properly
fund their pension plans, the
Municipal League also is willing to
support giving the state Treasurer's
Office more power to regulate local
pension plan spending and
investing.
The League also proposes
transferring about $2 million which
is currently directed toward the
state Teachers Retirement Plan to
police and firefighter pension plans.
The League also is asking for greater
power to go after residents who fail
to pay citations.
* The chancellor of the state
Higher Education Policy
Commission said a pilot program
under consideration would allow
three interested state colleges or
universities to charge students per
credit hour, rather than on a full-
to lower the cost of each credit hour,
which would make the proposal
revenue-neutral.
If the program is enacted, the
Policy Commission would report the
results back to the Legislature in
2008.
* Legislators also got an idea of
how new, tougher standards for
Promise Scholarships, which were
approved this fall, might affect our
students. While the basic
requirement is still a total score of
21 on the ACT test, students will
now also have to earn a minimum
score of 19 in each of the four subject
areas. So for instance, a student
whose average score is 21, but who
earned a 26 in math and an 18 in
English would no longer qualify.
Staring July 1, students will have
to earn a minimum 20 in each
subject area.

Robert Morgenstern said that under
the new standard, about one in every
