"The era of BIG spending is over... in West Virginia" - West Virginia Governor @MorriseyWV
Thank you Delegate Ferrell! Another income tax cut. Another huge win for hardworking West Virginia families!
Nine states already have ZERO personal income tax. West Virginia can be NEXT.

Pretty sure that’s what Larry said. We have a population issue. But we need to do something to support public schools. We can do both.
Both things are true:
The decline for most of these areas was happening with or without Hope Scholarship
Folks seeing big money going to Hope while their local schools are closed is growing political problem chanting "school choice" at isn't going to fix

People are choosing to live in low-tax states. That is reality. Because we've lowered our taxes and barriers to entry, West Virginia is 18th in the nation in interstate migration. We're spending more on infrastructure like sewer, water and roads. Public Schools are funded at record levels despite fewer students than ever.
How much more would you have taxpayers spend in those categories? What does "enough" look like? What taxes, specifically, will you hike on working West Virginians to afford that?

Wise words from @LarryPack here.
“‘When you weigh $160 million for Hope Scholarship is what we think for this current year versus the $2.4 billion we spend on public schools, we’re spending a lot of money on public schools. So I don’t think Hope has a big impact on them, but it does have a teeny bit,’ Pack added. Just because Pack is a supporter of the Hope Scholarship doesn’t mean he’s anti-public school, he said.”

West Virginia is moving at the speed of business!
Our new One Stop Shop Permitting Portal is live, three months ahead of schedule. Businesses can now apply for permits, pay fees, and track applications all in one place.
Less hassle. Faster development. More opportunities.

Continued growth and success for the Hope Scholarship Program!

While we disagree with the environmental left’s rhetoric, there’s one thing we should agree on: they have a right to say it.
Government has no prevailing interest in leveraging state-led investigations to put a thumb on the scale of a fight over policy or politics.
The freedom of speech and of peaceful assembly are sacrosanct. And actions by government that, however well-meaning, chill free speech are antithetical to those unalienable rights.
The principled approach to pushing back against speech with which we disagree is more speech, not less.
Attorney General J.B. McCuskey’s office issued an investigatory subpoena to West Virginia Rivers Coalition for a decade of records on climate claims, internal deliberations, fundraising and partnerships.

Laughable.
The West Virginia Hospital Association posted that access to healthcare “is about more than the services that generate revenue.”
Labor and delivery doesn’t generate much revenue. How’s that going?
→ May 2026: Stonewall Jackson Memorial in Weston, Lewis County. Vandalia cited low patient volume.
→ April 2026: Greenbrier Valley Medical Center in Ronceverte, Greenbrier County. Vandalia gave the same reasons.
→ 2024: Jefferson Medical Center in Ranson, Jefferson County. WVU Medicine cited volume.
→ 2022: St. Mary’s Medical Center in Huntington, Cabell County. Mountain Health Network cited declining births and moved deliveries to Cabell Huntington Hospital.
The WVHA also wants credit for caring for patients regardless of their ability to pay.
Hospitals with an ER have to do that. It’s federal law—EMTALA—and it applies to both for-profit and non-profit hospitals.
That obligation is not what a non-profit tax break buys.
→ WVU Hospitals (2024 tax filing): $12.4M in charity care at cost, against roughly $56M in estimated tax exemption. That's on $2.47B in revenue and a $95M surplus.
→ CAMC: $18.3M in charity care, against roughly $45M in estimated exemption, with a $66M surplus.
And when one of these systems drops a service, Certificate of Need makes it hard for anyone else to come in and replace it.
If access is the priority, why does the WVHA fight so hard to protect a law that keeps anyone else from providing it?
Access matters. So does competition.
Patients over systems.
Thank you Delegate Anders! Another income tax cut. Another huge win for hardworking West Virginia families!
