Abstract

The article discusses Governor Jim Justice's proposal to continue reducing West Virginia's personal income tax rate. The FY 2024 revenue collections exceeded expectations, triggering a 3% or 4% reduction in the tax rate. The governor aims for an additional 5% cut and plans to use surplus funds to mitigate revenue losses. Despite opposition, Justice plans to pursue further tax reductions, projecting savings exceeding $1 billion during his tenure. The article includes statements from lawmakers and provides details on the calculation of the reduction and its potential impact on state revenue. [Extracted from the article]
