West Virginia's volunteer fire departments and rescue squads may soon
have a tax break.
The House of Delegates suspended constitutional rules this week, allowing
the volunteer organizations to be exempt from paying consumer sales and
service fees.
The organizations have been required to pay the taxes on their fund raising
activities.
The legislation still needs Senate approval, but the bill is expected to pass.
The measure will help Calhoun's three volunteer departments who engage in
numerous fund-raising activities.
