Winning the Backyard Brawl: A tax cut that puts West Virginians first

West Virginia’s focus on fiscal discipline, smaller government, and free-market policies has strengthened the state’s finances and driven major private-sector investment and job growth. With a strong surplus and responsible budgeting, the state is now positioned to return money to taxpayers through a 10% across-the-board income tax cut.

Half of the proposed cut is already funded, and lawmakers are urged to find savings to complete the remaining portion. The tax cut is presented as direct relief for families facing rising costs and as a way to reward work and productivity.
