Counties Banding Together over Library Funding

Eight counties plan to petition the Supreme Court over special laws that set aside property tax revenues for libraries, with Berkeley County the latest to join the effort, The Journal of Martinsburg reports.

Nine counties have these special laws including Kanawha County, which went to the Supreme Court last year arguing that the state's school aid formula fails to compensate those counties when it parcels out education funds.

The Kanawha County libraray decision was one of the Supreme Court's silliest decisions of the last year. We'll see if they want to wade into it again.
