CHARLESTON (AP) — Legislation to hike salaries for
West Virginia magistrates and top court staff is testing the newfound
muscle of House Republicans.
GOP delegates tried without success
Monday to derail a proposal to equalize pay for county magistrates,
their assistants and top court clerks. That pay now varies and is based
on a county's population.
The 43-52 party line vote came after the
House Judiciary committee advanced the bill last week. It's scheduled
for a Wednesday vote on passage to the Senate.
Republicans now
hold 46 of the House's 100 seats following November election gains. They
question why this bill has advanced without a review by the House
Finance Committee. They're challenging the need for the measure, when
improving public school appears a higher priority.
