“What we’re doing is managing the surplus,” Senate President Craig Blair, R-Berkeley, told MetroNews Wednesday.
Lawmakers allocated $150 million in surplus revenue to more than 400 highway projects in a special session earlier this month.
The fiscal year ends June 30. State law requires 50% of any budget surplus carried into the new fiscal year be put into the Rainy Day Fund. Gov. Jim Justice said last week the fund is already at record levels.
