I vote no on Amendment 2 as I agree with (Marshall County Commissioner) John Gruzinskas. I don't trust Charleston politicians and bureaucrats. They are awash in cash -- $1.3 billion in surplus, $427 million in the first quarter -- and refuse to give us tax breaks. They talk until the session runs out but we get no tax refunds or breaks, just hot air. So they expect us to give them control of more money and they "might" be nice and give us some back!
Sure, just like the Ohio County Public Library will get some of its money back.
It is amazing that West Virginia can get any new businesses to move here. The state can't even run a program to give money away, they "refuse" as if it was actually their money. It is the people's money -- and they need it. Our good 'ole boy network has got to go or West Virginia will never stop its downward slide. Every day we lose more people and more businesses. How low can it go?
