A story aired today on West Virginia Public Broadcasting talks about the chances -- which aren't good -- that state taxes will be raised. One of the reasons why it might happen is to fund the state's initiatives on substance abuse.
Delegate Don Perdue, D-Wayne, said that the state's substance abuse issues will cost now or they will cost later.
"We know that there are at least 40,000 untreated addicts in the state of West Virginia," Perdue told West Virginia Public Broadcasting. "We also know that fully 20 percent of pregnant females in West Virginia have a substance abuse problem."
