Chip in today to elect Dem govs >>
Democratic governors are leading in the fight against Donald Trump. With our two historic victories in Virginia and New Jersey, grassroots momentum is on our side! But this year, nearly 80% of the country is voting for a governor – and with Republicans already investing to beat Dem govs, early support has never been so critical. Will you donate to elect more Democratic governors who will defend our rights and freedoms and stand up to Trump?
Tomblin touts successes of state, region
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin cited several success stories both locally and statewide during a meeting Friday with The Herald-Dispatch Editorial Board.
He talked about the partnership between the city of Huntington, National Guard and Division of Highways to tear down more than 50 abandoned homes; how community and technical colleges statewide have been matched up with employers to offer industry-specific training; and the $5 billion invested in the state in the past two years that has resulted in the creation of 6,500 jobs. He also said exports are up 50 percent, with 125 countries receiving items produced in the Mountain State.
Tomblin said the state has shown fiscal responsibility with revenues staying steady even though food and business franchise taxes are being phased out.
