After passage in the Senate yesterday and an amendment that tripled the cost, HB 5687 goes back to the House for approval today. Join us in urging House members to reject handouts to the coal and natural gas industries that won't create jobs. votervoice.net/WVPolicy/campa…

Join us in urging lawmakers to oppose HB 5687, which likely won’t increase production or jobs but will undermine public services for all West Virginians: tinyurl.com/3p78nyjf

WV lawmakers have once again chosen to prioritize personal income tax cuts disproportionately benefiting the state's wealthiest households over investments in the public services that help everyday people thrive. Our statement on the WV House of Delegate's passage of SB 392.

Of the $125 million in tax cuts in SB 392, over 15% will go to the wealthiest 1% in WV, those with an average income of $1.22 million. 65% of the tax cuts will go to the wealthiest 20%. The bottom 20%, those with incomes below $25,800, will see only 0.56% of the total tax cut.

Years in the making, the Senate has passed a bill that includes several provisions aimed at stabilizing and expanding child care in WV. It’s the first bill like this in the state. It should head to governor’s desk after House concurs. Big day for child care advocates in WV.

WV lawmakers will vote today on another income tax cut (SB 392) that would overwhelmingly benefit the state's wealthiest households. While a middle-income WV household would see just $1 per week from the proposed tax cut, it would slash $125 million in revenue each year.

“'Let’s say no tax reduction legislation were to pass, the revenue estimate would stay where it was and we would simply expect to run additional surplus moving forward as a result of baking in that tax cut into the revenue estimate but then not actually passing such a bill.'"

"The House Finance Committee recommended for passage to the full House an amended version of SB 392, relating to the personal income tax reduction. The bill cuts personal income tax rates by 5% retroactive to Jan. 1, returning $125 million to taxpayers when fully implemented."
Steven Allen Adams@stevenadamswv

The House Finance Committee recommended two key bills Wednesday sought by Gov. Morrisey, amending his 10% cut to personal income tax rates to 5% and giving him spending authority over the state’s $199 million Rural Health Transformation federal award. newsandsentinel.com/news/business/…
