W.Va. GOP Whittling Down Debt, Chairman Says

After as much as $180,000 in unpaid bills, West Virginia's Republican Party has whacked down its debts to a more maneagable $40,000, Chairman Doug McKinney told MetroNews' Talkline.

McKinney predicted the party will be back in the black by the state's May 13 primary. "I think we'll attract some of our major donors back and a lot of the people who have been regular, modest to moderate contributors but just didn't feel good about contributing to old debt, I think we'll see the Party's resurgence," he told Talkine's Hoppy Kercheval.

MetroNews also has audio from Thursday's interview.
