I'm sure few will care about this but I got a kick out of it. Our "billionaire" governor wanted to eliminate the state tax (giving himself a huge tax cuts and make up for it with huge tax increases elsewhere. (raising state sales tax to 8%. (in some place it would be 9%)
The Senate barely passed it but the House was looking at another plan. One that would have cut state income taxes but in a more rational way. The governor wasn't happy (this guy is constantly being sued for not paying the people he owes) and lashed out today saying the House was too afraid to take a vote. They said fine we will vote. 0-100.
Jim Justice is a Republican and the Republicans have large majorities in the House and Senate but in a bipartisan vote to address his tantrum they shot him down.
