TERRA ALTA — The Terra Alta Town Council appointed a new mayor and recorder after the former mayor Dan Hauger and former Town Recorder Mikaela Bernard resigned from office after officials were late submitting the town budget to the state of Wes Virginia.

On May 28, Terra Alta town employees declined to be named for this article about the failed budget submittal. One employee said the town would lose ability to levy property taxes, and would lose up to $204,000 as a result. kAm“%9:D :D 2 D:8?:7:42?E =@DD @7 >@?6J[” @?6 6>A=@J66 D2:5]k^Am kAm%96 =@DD @7 AC@A6CEJ E2I6D 4@F=5 =625 E@ D@>6 7F==\E:>6 6>A=@J66D 364@>:?8 A2CE\E:>6 27E6C E96 3F586E 492?86D] %96 %6CC2 p=E2 !@=:46 s6A2CE>6?E 2?5 @E96C AF3=:4 D6CG:46D C:D< =@D:?8 7F?5D 5F6 E@ E96 3F586E’D =2E6 DF3>:EE2=]k^Am kAmr92@D 6?DF65 2E E
