Chamber PAC Endorses Bill Cole for Governor Charleston, W.Va. – The West Virginia Chamber Political Action Committee today announced its endorsement of Bill Cole for Governor of West Virginia. Bill Cole has served as the President of the West Virginia Senate since 2015. West Virginia Chamber President Steve Roberts stated, “Bill Cole works tirelessly to promote job creation and economic development in West Virginia. Under his leadership, the West Virginia Legislature has begun the most comprehensive series of job creation reforms in a lifetime. His leadership in the Governor’s Office will allow West Virginia to embark on a new era fueled by Bill Cole’s energy, enthusiasm and expertise.” The Chamber PAC, which announced the endorsements, is the political arm of the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce, which is the state’s leading association of employers whose priority is job creation and economic development. Chamber members employ over half of West Virginia’s workforce. Roberts continued, “We listen carefully to our members for guidance, and they have clearly and overwhelmingly indicated their support for Bill Cole to be the next Governor of West Virginia.” During the two legislative sessions in which Bill Cole served as President of the Senate, the Legislature enacted legislation to: . support small businesses . promote good health initiatives . guarantee legal fairness and removed partisanship from our state’s courts . implement regulatory reforms that protect public health while encouraging businesses to grow a create jobs . undertake significant education and workforce preparedness measures .

  • People's Election Reform Coalition Report on Tobacco and the 2003 Legislature
    People’s Election Reform Coalition Report on Tobacco and the 2003 Legislature How the tobacco industry works to influence legislation in West Virginia The tobacco industry has a single overriding goal: Maintain profits by selling as much product as possible. The industry uses a number of strategies and tactics to accomplish this, including: _ Advertising, marketing, and promotions that maintain the wholesale and retail tobacco business. This includes paying special attention to youth and young adults, women, and other groups that fit user profiles, such as having limited education and limited income. _ Political influence and lobbying focused mostly on the state legislature. _ Partnering with other businesses and organizations to spread influence while staying in the background. This serves to “legitimize” efforts such as opposition to indoor smoking bans, tobacco tax increases, etc. It is in the interests of all West Virginians to reduce tobacco use in the most expedient way possible, due to the high rate of premature death and disability, and the high social and economic costs that tobacco use presents. These burdens are shared by everyone, from losing family members and friends, to the increased costs of health insurance and public deficits. The West Virginia Bureau for Public Health estimates that over 4000 West Virginians die each year from heart disease, cancer, respiratory and other diseases directly caused by smoking. Smoking-related health care costs in West Virginia exceed 800 million dollars per year, which inflates the expenditures for Medicaid, Medicare, Public Employees Insurance, and private health insurance premiums (see Tobacco is Killing and Costing Us, WV Bureau for Public Health, 2002).

  • In This Issue LB 2018–03 January 29, 2018
    In This Issue LB 2018–03 January 29, 2018 LEGISLATURE TO DEBATE INVENTORY TAX REDUCTION State Purchasing Bills to be Discussed The West Virginia Senate introduced Senate Joint Resolution 9, the first step in passing a constitutional amendment to do away with business property taxes on Meet Your New inventory, machinery and equipment. The resolution, “Just Cut Taxes and Win Legislators Amendment,” has been a priority for the business community since West Virginia is just one of a few states that taxes inventory and equipment. Senators have said the tax is a road block to development. AGC of America Wants to Hear from You SJR 9 defines industrial business activity as that which is primarily manufacturing, mining, quarrying, oil extraction or natural gas extraction. It excludes any working interest in an oil or gas well. It also defines tangible industrial inventory personal property as limited to raw materials, goods in process and finished goods of a business located in West Virginia. The problem with eliminating the business taxes, however, is finding money to make up for the lost revenue. The taxes fund local schools and county governments. Senate President Mitch Carmichael, R-Jackson, said the tax proposal senators want to work on would phase out inventory and equipment taxes over a period of seven years. President Carmichael said he believes the plan would cost the state about $20 million in revenue each year, a sum he thinks could be absorbed through the budget process. Governor Justice's bill to expand access to career education and workforce training is on 2nd Reading in Senate today.
