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.

“I taught Mike,” says Hardy. “I’ve known him since he was 13 or 14, knew the family pretty well.
“We managed to stay in contact through the years. Haven’t seen him much since he joined (the) Toronto (Maple Leafs). So I just took a chance. I phoned him–might have been Boxing Day–and we got caught up.

University of Saskatchewan (U of S) Huskies Chief Athletics Officer Dave Hardy is a firm believer in one of Wayne Gretzky’s most famous lines: “You miss 100 per cent of the shots you don’t take.”
Hardy applied those words of wisdom when searching for a successor to lead the men’s hockey program. Long-time head coach Dave Adolph departs as the winningest coach in the history of Canadian men’s university hockey after 27 years.
Leading the search for a new hire, Hardy reached out to Mike Babcock. Babcock was one of the most decorated coaches still active in the sport, and Hardy said he was not expecting much but you gotta shoot your shot, right?
