Sequester could hurt W.Va. airports

Automatic federal spending cuts could seriously affect airports in West Virginia.
The Federal Aviation Administration says air traffic control towers at several airports – including Huntington, Bridgeport, Lewisburg and Parkersburg – could close if the so-called sequestration takes effect.
The FAA could also get rid of some staff members at airports.
If Congress does not reach a deal, the sweeping federal cuts go into effect March 1.
