Gov Justice wants another decrease in state personal property tax

The members of the West Virginia Legislature will be asked to enact an additional reduction to the state’s personal income tax during a special session later this year, Gov. Jim Justice said Monday. Speaking during an event to celebrate the end of the state’s Fiscal Year 2024, Justice said he plans to call a session in “August or September” to have lawmakers consider a further 5% reduction to the PIT “It’ll be tough, but there’s a way to do it.” The governor suggested lawmakers take funds from the state’s budget surplus and put them aside as a safeguard against the revenues that would be lost by putting further cuts in place.
