Return to Story IndexWV CAP AND TRADE
BUT WEST VIRGINIA DIDN'T WAIT FOR NATIONAL STANDARDS TO BE UPPED -- STATE LEADERS PASSED THEIR OWN VERSION OF THE MEASURE. THE HOUSE VOTED IN FAVOR OF GOVERNOR JOE MANCHIN'S ENERGY PORTFOLIO WHICH WILL GRADUALLY FORCE POWER PLANTS THAT DON'T MEET GUIDELINES TO PAY FOR THEIR POLLUTION. THE POWER COMPANIES WILL HAVE TO BUY CREDITS FROM ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SUPPLIERS. THAT COULD CAUSE YOUR ELECTRIC BILL TO GO UP. SOME DELEGATES SAY PASSING THIS BILL SENDS A MESSAGE OF COOPERATION TO WASHINGTON -- OTHERS SAY IT IS JUST PLAIN STUPID. THE SENATE HAS ALREADY PASSED THE BILL. IT GOES INTO EFFECT IN 90 DAYS. BUT MOST OF THE BIG CHANGES WILL TAKE PLACE GRADUALLY OVER THE NEXT 15 YEARS.

BUT SUPPORTERS SAY KEEPING THE TAX WHERE IT IS, IS THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP OUR ROADS UP TO PAR. BY NEXT YEAR, WEST VIRGINIA WILL HAVE A HIGHER GAS TAX THAN ANY OF THE SURROUNDING STATES....
Return to Story IndexWV TAX SYSTEM
STATE TAX OFFICERS GOT A CHANCE TO SHARE THEIR PROPOSALS ON WHAT SHOULD BE DONE IN THE AREAS. THEY WERE ALSO SEEKING PUBLIC INPUT ON THE ISSUES INCLUDING TELE-COMMUNICATIONS, TAX CREDITS FOR SENIOR CITIZENS, AND PERSONAL INCOME TAXES FOR LOW-INCOME RESIDENTS. we've eliminated, we are phasing out business franchise tax. We've lowered out corporated income tax, we created a family tax credit to provide relief to those that are working but aren't earning as much income. we have simplified things. THE PROPOSED CHANGES WILL MOST LIKELY BE PRESENTED TO THE STATE LEGISLATURE IN THE UPCOMING SESSION.
