Legislature 2008: Final Week

Well, not counting the additional week lawmakers will spend completing next year's budget. Or any special session Gov. Joe Manchin may call to remedy bills he's had to veto because of technical errors.

But pretty much everything else must pass by midnight Saturday. Following up on recent myth-testing by legislative services, The Associated Press weighs the notion that not much is proposed or accomplished by lawmakers in an election year.

AP touches on the legislative pay raise, which was sent to Manchin on Friday. AP was among those covering the bill's final passage.

WSAZ-TV sets the stage for the final week, while also mentioning Wednesday's installment of the Third House.

If the reason for the pay raise is that the current pay is not enough to attract competent candidates, what does that say about the people that are currently serving?
