Governor Morrisey Delivers Budget Update

Published | Video Starts at 30:52

This is what drives us on the tax. You have artificial pieces that are put in place, place about revenue. But I look at what's happening around us. Pennsylvania, substantially lower taxes, income tax level than West Virginia. Ohio, poised to get to 2.75. Kentucky going to 3.5. Our highest rate is 4.82. This is a competition. I mean, that is what happens in the real world. So I'm excited to get those numbers down. So that's the information we have now. (30:52–31:08)
