As West Virginians across the state get ready to celebrate Christmas, it will be a time of joy and reflection. For us, it’s not about the gifts under the tree. It’s about the love of our families and the resiliency we have all shown through another challenging year.

Especially in our times of sorrow, West Virginians are strong, kind, and above all else, a very compassionate people. I wish Bette Midler and everybody a very Merry Christmas and a happy and blessed New Year. God Bless! Senate President/Lt. Governor Craig Blair

Seriously, folks, this is a big, big deal for West Virginia. I did a bit more digging into the CB data and from April 1, 2010 to July 1, 2019, West Virginia's "Net Domestic Migration" was **NEGATIVE 43,024** and now from July 1 '20 to July 1 '21, it's POSITIVE 2,343.Huge reversal

West Virginia had a reversal of population loss from 7/1/20 to 7/1/21. Adding nearly 2,500 people! Republican policies from WV House GOP, West Virginia Senate Republicans & @WVGovernor turning things around! Speaker Roger Hanshaw @ElectCraigBlair

We’re saddened to learn of the loss today of former WV State Senator Sue Cline. Thoughts and prayers for her family during this time.

Senate president Blair and finance chair Eric J. Tarr challenge Governor Jim Justice and Secretary of Revenue Dave Hardy to a series of public forums on Amendment Two.

Hear it for yourself. Today in Parkersburg, @WVGovernor told Finance Committee Chairman Eric Tarr, "We don't need to debate this. I said we're not going to do that. So we're done." Why doesn't the Governor want the public to hear why we want more flexibility for tax reform?
