State police troopers in West Virginia would receive a $10,000 pay increase under a bill approved by the House of Delegates on Monday. The proposal was passed 97-0 and now returns to the Senate, which previously had unanimously passed Gov. Jim Justice’s request for a 5% pay raise for most state employees. That proposal had included raises of about $2,550 for state troopers, and the House tacked on additional $7,450 raises for them while leaving the original pay raises for the other state workers intact. The increases would be effective July 1. Justice offered the state employee pay raises in December, citing the state’s budget surplus. For the first eight months of the fiscal year, it was about $590 million above the year-to-date estimate.
