Anyone else wondering how much West Virginia eliminating income tax will draw people to move there?
I wouldn't live in Florida but I might live in WV.... https://governor.wv.gov/News/press-releases/2024/Pages/Gov.-Justice-announces-4-percent-personal-income-tax-cut-trigger,-marching-West-Virginia-closer-to-eliminating-tax.aspx https://www.wvnews.com/news/wvnews/west-virginia-gov-justice-announces-4-cut-to-personal-income-tax-pushes-for-more/article_1ba6b644-3f9f-11ef-b297-5357ebf54706.html |

| Great, they'll have to rely even more on federal tax dollars, and have even crappier schools. |

| Seems like a good idea for drawing people there |

| Typical red state stuff - let's pay less taxes and rely on the $ feds collect from blue states. |

and how will they pay for city services for all those people moving there? |

| I lived in Texas for 14 years, was a homeowner for two. While there's no state income tax, the property taxes are pretty high to make up for it. They don't seem to be suffering. |

I've considered moving there (have a house in Canaan Valley, which is significantly cooler in the summer than DC, the high today is 76*) but the bad schools is what's holding me back.
West Virginia is under rated in a lot of ways (at least in some parts) but it's not a feasible option for me, with or without income taxes. |

| It’s a shell game. The costs are the costs and they’ll extract the funds from people under some other header. |

I don't worry about people who open carry. They're way more responsible than the gangstas shooting up the 'hood. |

OP, please don't post exaggerations. i wasted time on your post. The story is only a 4 percent reduction not wholesale abolition. Be more judicious in your posts |

Unless there's either a hurricane or an ice storm, both of which now seem to hit Texas every year. |
