LWVWV Believes Budgets Reflect Values
We strongly disagree with the values expressed by the WV Legislature in the various versions of this year’s budget. Many of the League’s legislative priorities include have budget implications, including funding for Medicaid, child care, public schools, SNAP, and drinking water infrastructure. “Flat” budgets and more tax cuts serve none of these.

Make Some Noise for Clean Drinking Water!
Three bills proposed in the House of Delegates would begin to address long-standing issues with water infrastructure in the southern coalfields and provide residents with access to clean drinking water. Contact your Delegate and tell them to SUPPORT HB 5525, HB 5585, and HB 5642. No West Virginian should have to live without clean water.

Make Some (More) Noise for Public Education
The House Finance Committee has originated a bill that calls for a cap and sensible guardrails on the Hope Scholarship voucher program, which is diverting public dollars from public schools, leading to school closures and staffing/program cuts. Contact your Delegate and members of the House Finance Committee and urge them to support this legislation.
