CHARLESTON – Gov. Jim Justice vowed to keep fighting for a compromise personal income tax plan between himself and the West Virginia Senate, while the House of Delegates opted to table the plan.
The House unanimously voted against a motion to concur with the Senate’s changes to House Bill 3300, the personal income tax compromise bill developed by the Governor and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Eric Tarr, R-Putnam.
The vote came after Justice held a briefing earlier Friday accusing the House of not moving on the bill. Leadership said they were still interested in working on a personal income tax phase-out, but Friday’s vote was to send a clear message.
Sen. Eric Tarr, R-Putnam, speaks on the floor on Wednesday, April 7, 2021.
In a Wednesday evening floor session that stretched for more than three hours and became at times fiery between members of the Republican majority and Democratic minority members of the West Virginia Senate passed a measure calling for the reduction of the personal income tax and a budget bill.
Following Gov. Jim Justice holding a summit Monday with top legislators of both parties, Sen. Eric Tarr, R-Putnam, offered an amendment Wednesday to House Bill 3300 a marquee proposal this session that calls for a reduction in the personal income tax.

CHARLESTON The leader of the West Virginia Senate Finance Committee tried one last time Wednesday to craft a plan for an income tax elimination Gov. Jim Justice and the House of Delegates could accept.
The Senate voted 18-16 in favor of House Bill 3300, the bill being used to phase-out the personal income tax in West Virginia, losing five Republican state senators.
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Eric Tarr, R-Putnam, presented a strike-and-insert amendment to HB 3300 that wiped out the original committee proposal in favor of a plan that tried to get closer to a new proposal presented Monday night by Justice at a summit between House and Senate majority and minority leadership.
