West Virginia senators back 15 percent income tax cut plan
West Virginia Senate Republicans unanimously approved a plan to cut the personal income tax by 15 percent, returning about 600 million dollars to residents from a 1.3 billion fiscal year surplus. The move diverges from Gov. Jim Justice and House leaders who favor a 30 percent first-year cut and 10 percent yearly reductions. Critics warn revenue volatility from energy prices could threaten long term funding while noting the state’s high poverty rate and public-employee shortages.
