 With the Metro News Minute, I'm Chris Lawrence. It's July 1st, the beginning of a new fiscal year, and West Virginia has no one cent pop tax for the first time since 1952. The 1951 legislature approved that tax to finance construction of WVU's med school. The 2022 legislature voted to eliminate it, and that starts today. WVU Health Sciences still gets $14 million from the state, but that's coming from an existing insurance tax.
