To attract ethane cracker, other businesses, WV needs updated tax code

State officials working to get an ethane cracker in West Virginia are doing the right thing, but we can't lose sight of the bigger picture.

We want West Virginia to welcome all new businesses – that means an updated tax code, courts that put justice over politics and an educational system that prepares our young people for life in the 21st Century.

There is tremendous vitality in the future of our chemical industry, but we can't stop there.  A diverse economy is a fundamental aspect of prosperity.
