Breitbart: West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey (R) on Monday announced his “backyard brawl” economic agenda during his inaugural address, promising to make the Mountain State the “freest” state in the union.
Morrisey, who replaced outgoing Gov. Jim Justice (R), announced his economic agenda to revitalize the Mountain State’s economy. more here
Godspeed Gov., Morrisey! Please pay particular attention to environmental regulations, lobbyists, and NGOs.
I wasn’t sure what that meant, but here is some text from the article:
“Our path to prosperity starts by making West Virginia the easiest state in America to start and grow a business.
We’ll work with all West Virginians and Americans who want to call the Mountain State home to showcase our workforce, resources, and values.
Gov. Morrisey said the state will teach West Virginian children civics and “eliminate the woke virus from schools.”
“That means no more DEI. No more radical agendas. No more brainwashing. No more confusion about the differences between boys and girls,” he charged. “Under my administration, West Virginia schools will be for learning, not social experiments. If there’s one thing I want you to remember from my remarks today, it’s this—we’re going to get government out of your way.”
Being the “freest” state in a country where freedom disappeared a long time ago doesn’t mean much. What about taxes and regulations? The freedom to come and go without being tracked, to own guns (plural) without being on a list, to do what you want with your own money and property?
@Anonymous: If you read the article you’ll see that Morrisey addresses those issues.
Anonymous, WV already has very low property taxes and very little building codes outside city limits. I already intended to move there before the election.
