Excess Levy Increase to Appear on Ballot


KANAWHA COUNTY, W.Va. --Taxpayers in Kanawha County will now decide whether or not to increase school funding.

The school board voted 4-1 Thursday night to put an excess levy increase on the ballot.

If taxpayers vote yes, the excess levy would increase by 50 percent. If not, some board members say programs like art and music would suffer cutbacks.

The deciding election will take place November 9.
