WV Gov Manchin Announces Final Food Tax Phase-Down
Gov. Joe Manchin and state officials unveiled the final phase down of West Virginia's food tax, cutting the rate to 3 percent starting July 1 and saving taxpayers about 25 million dollars next year. Lawmakers also approved a temporary gas tax freeze to ease rising fuel costs, offset by a hoped-for 40 million dollars from a year-end surplus. The measures aim to help families across the Mountain State facing higher prices and provide a leveled playing field for border communities.

No Firm Should Be Forced To Invest In Obsolescence
Deroy Murdock argues against congressional pressure on Big Oil to fund renewable energy. He notes oil firms already spend heavily on alternatives, citing 1.2 billion from 2000-2005 by 2000-2005 on wind and solar, plus 11 billion on end use tech, while government funding totals 2.4 billion. He mocks forced shifts and questions the premise of mandatory obsolescence for any industry.
