How we pay for it

Paying for a Better West Virginia

Obviously, a better West Virginia will need new revenue streams to be successful. Here's one way I think we can accomplish it:

Taxation

  • No more corporate bail-outs
  • Keep most taxes in place, including the business inventory tax, which represents $140 million dollars a year of tax revenue
  • Reinstating certain progressive taxes that have been removed in the past 10 years

Additional Revenues

  • Legalization and taxation of adult use Cannabis
  • Increase severance tax on natural gas
  • More money into the economy from increased small businesses
