西弗吉尼亚众议院财政委员会批准了HB 4027,即2027财政年度的一般收入预算,设定为54.63亿美元,略低于州长的提议,但高于参议院的版本。 The West Virginia House Finance Committee approved HB 4027, the fiscal year 2027 general revenue budget, setting it at $5.463 billion—slightly below the governor’s proposal but higher than the Senate’s version. 预算包括3 050万美元不适当的缓冲,恢复高等教育经费,并为包括教师和国家警察在内的公务员提供3%的加薪。 The budget includes a $30.5 million unappropriated cushion, restores higher education funding, and provides a 3% pay raise for public employees, including teachers and State Police. 它从剩余资金中为道路拨款1.5亿美元,为供水和下水道项目拨款3 000万美元。 It allocates $150 million to roads and $30 million to water and sewer projects from surplus funds. 特别是,众议院拒绝了总督要求削减个人所得税的要求,维持了财政克制。 Notably, the House rejected the governor’s requested personal income tax cuts, maintaining fiscal restraint. 该法案现提交全体众议院审议,预计最后通过之前将进行谈判。 The bill now moves to the full House for consideration, with negotiations expected before final passage.
