Gov. Justice says West Virginia breaks all-time state record for revenue collections through May

Press Release

"This is another historic accomplishment -- setting all-time records for total collections and total surplus in state history. I am beyond proud of the hardworking West Virginians who made these numbers possible, and of all the companies far and wide who have invested in West Virginia, providing good-paying jobs for our people. We're blessed beyond belief in our state, and it's a testament to the world continuing to realize that West Virginia is the true diamond in the rough that they all missed.
