CHARLESTON Gov. Jim Justice spent a second day selling his ideas to phase out the personal income tax, with bills expected to be introduced by the end of the week and as early as today.
“Probably (today) I’ll have it to the Legislature, and I hope that they concur and agree what we’ve put together is a really good plan,” Justice said. “At the same time, if they have ideas and tweaks or whatever that may make this thing better, I’m open. I’m always open to that.”
Justice held a virtual town hall Wednesday evening to talk about his personal income tax repeal proposal. He was joined by Dave Hardy, secretary of the Department of Revenue, and Deputy Secretary Mark Muchow.
