CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice is calling state lawmakers back to the Capitol to consider an $80 million allocation to the state’s colleges and universities to help students pay for school amid the ongoing federal financial aid crisis, among other proposals. The Republican governor released a proclamation Friday for a special session beginning at 5 p.m. Sunday, when legislators are already convening at the state Capitol for May interim meetings. The proclamation lists 15 items for the Legislature to consider and act on, including a $150 million proposal for highway maintenance , $50 million for a new state agricultural lab at West Virginia State University and more than $80 million to the state’s colleges and universities. The $80 million would help provide funding for students affected by the Federal Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) crisis. |
