More than a decade ago, West Virginia officials faced a gargantuan problem without enough money to fix it. They earmarked $5 million toward fixing the state’s slow, unreliable internet, then spent years bickering over how to spend it with little progress made on the problem.

On the final day of the regular legislative session, lawmakers completed work on the budget bill.

The budget passed by the Legislature appropriates $4.495 billion to the general fund.
