Justice praises progress of paused special session

During a recent administration briefing at the State Capitol, Governor Jim Justice praised the West Virginia Legislature for successfully passing several of his special session bills before adjourning until next week. He emphasized the significance of the progress made in the legislative process, which he described as a step forward for the state. A focal point of Justice's address was his proposal for a 5 percent cut in personal income tax, which he urged lawmakers to seriously consider. This tax cut proposal aligns with Justice's ongoing efforts to enhance the fiscal landscape of West Virginia. The Governor's remarks highlight the importance of collaboration between the executive and legislative branches in addressing state issues.

As the special session resumes, the decisions made could have a profound impact on the state's economy and the financial well-being of its residents. Justice's leadership during this pivotal period reflects his commitment to advocating for policies that benefit West Virginians. The next steps in the legislative process will be closely monitored by stakeholders across the state.
