Governor Morrisey was on @WVMetroNews this morning to discuss the landmark Supreme Court ruling in West Virginia, et al. v. B.P.J., one of the most important victories for women's athletics since the enactment of Title IX itself.
The Governor brought this case to the Supreme Court while serving as Attorney General.
Governor Morrisey said he wants to combat the affordability crisis the state is currently facing by following the national example of cutting taxes.
“I’m for it. I know the Senate is for it. And I’m asking you, let the House know you’re for it, too. Are you with me?” said Governor Morrisey ~ via Ashely Davidson in @WVNS59News and @YahooNews

Governor Morrisey announces a $250 million private pipeline investment and celebrate the grand opening of the Edward M. Smith National Career and Life Skills Development Center with Hope Gas.
A 10% across-the-board income tax cut is too important not to get done. As we stay competitive with neighbors like KY, OH & PA - who've slashed or are slashing their rates - West Virginia families deserve real relief from high costs on groceries, energy & more.
Governor Patrick Morrisey announced $9.5 million in Abandoned Mine Land Economic Revitalization (AMLER) grant funding for five critical water and sewer infrastructure projects in McDowell and Mingo counties.

West Virginians deserve to keep more of what they earn. We tightened the budget, made tough choices, and put the state on stronger financial footing. Now we have an opportunity to return money to the people and help with real affordability challenges. https://t.co/WL6PKChvpb
Thank you House lawmakers for advancing this critical bill that will unlock millions in federal rural health dollars and deliver real wins for our state. This is how we strengthen healthcare and put West Virginians first. #WestVirginia1st

Governor Patrick Morrisey was joined by Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist to ask the West Virginia legislature to pass a 10 percent across-the-board personal income tax cut, emphasizing that the state is now in a position to afford broad tax relief after making difficult budget decisions and tightening spending.
From @GroverNorquist - They (businesses) don’t build a facility like this in the next 5 to 10 years, they build for decades, and they need to know that taxes are going down.
I want to thank President Trump for taking this decisive action to confront the fentanyl crisis and treat it with the seriousness it demands. This is something I called for immediately upon taking office as governor, and it is an issue I aggressively pursued as Attorney General long before that.
West Virginia has been on the front lines of the fentanyl epidemic. As Attorney General, I was one of the most vocal leaders in the country, urging federal action, filing briefs, sending letters, and pushing for fentanyl to be treated as the weapon it is. Those efforts included building partnerships and laying the groundwork that helped drive down overdose deaths.
Today’s action validates what we have said all along, that fentanyl is more than a drug problem; it is a national security threat. I appreciate the president acting on this call, and West Virginia will continue leading the fight to protect our communities, hold traffickers accountable, and save lives.
