Each day seems to bring a new bill to vie with Gov. Joe Manchin's pay raise proposals. The latest, a bipartisan measure, would retool the state's school aid formula to free up local property tax revenue for teacher and service personnel salaries.
The Register-Herald of Beckley reports on a competing measure that would satisfy the quest by at least one teacher's group for a 6 percent raise.
UPDATE: Manchin's teacher pay raise bills finally reached the House and Senate today.
The Senate Judiciary Committee, meanwhile, has advanced pay hike proposals for corrections and related officers, The Charleston Gazette reports.
UPDATE: The Charleston Daily Mail reports that the session's pay hike proposal for legislators also includes a boost to their health benefits.
