A Response to Concerns About the Kansas Tax Plan & West Virginia Tax Cuts

Even before 2021 began, potential West Virginia tax cuts on the personal income tax (PIT) became a lightning rod topic. Governor Justice announced eliminating the state income tax as his top priority. Legislators have also been talking about it in addition to their other major policy priorities this year.
