As I write this Sunday, I’m still recovering from the end of the 2021 legislative session that ended at midnight Saturday. It was truly a 60-day rollercoaster and certainly a session for the history books.
I’m going to highlight several things that happened this session, so bear with me.
¯¯¯¯¯¯ First, I will be happy when the legislative session next year returns to some form of normalcy. I surely hope next year we’re not still operating under COVID-19 restrictions. As much as the video and audio streams make things easier, it’s also better to be on the floor, face-to-face with lawmakers.

Republican Gov. Jim Justice and some state lawmakers predict the elimination of the personal income tax would bring hundreds of thousands of new residents to the state.
There’s no guarantee of that, but their decisions regarding the tax, and its effect on the state budget, will absolutely affect West Virginians who already live here.
The House of Delegates has already passed their versions of a personal income tax phase-out (House Bill 3300) and a budget bill, House Bill 2022. The state Senate did the same on Wednesday night. The two bodies will have to agree on one version of the bill and get it signed by Gov. Jim Justice for it to become law.
