HARSHBARGER, Justice,
concurring:
I would modify Syllabus Point 2 as follows:
2. When a contract is entered into between a county commission and a contractor for certain construction work and the contractor knew, or had reason to believe, that funds from the federal government would be used for such work, and that there might be delays in the receipt thereof not caused by the commission, then the contractor may not recover interest on the amount owed by the county commission if a delay in payment from the federal government occurs, provided that the county commission makes a reasonable effort to ensure that payment of the debt will be made in a timely manner.
