Tax Exemption Proposal Aims to Attract Industries
West Virginia Senate debated a constitutional amendment sponsored by Senator Walter Ballanan to allow municipalities to grant tax exemptions to new industries for up to five years. Hallanan argued the measure would ease taxation burdens, boost development, and enable local governments to set special levies with 60 percent voter approval. The plan also permits a classification of intangible property to cap tax on such assets and introduces an income tax for individuals and corporations.
