We know it's going to happen again, a flood or a natural disaster, ... People need a place to call home for a period of time.
About the confusion, I can't tell you of anything more heart-wrenching than I've ever gone through in my life. Nothing.
It is important that all West Virginians exercise patience and calm during the upcoming days, ... There is no reason to panic and rush to the pump, as that will only further deplete the state's supply of fuel. If you don't need gasoline, don't purchase it.
Helen, thank you for all you do, not just in Mineral County but in all of West Virginia. I'm awarding you with the highest award I can give, the Distinguished West Virginia Award,
The people of West Virginia have made it clear that they will no longer tolerate a government that is out of step with the economy of this state.
However it was supposed to work, it didn't, ... I don't know if it's a territorial thing, which we all deal with as governors; everybody hunkers down and protects their turf, and somebody has to cut through that for the people's sake.

I can assure you that my wife and I - every penny of income we've ever had, our taxes were paid in West Virginia.
I don't know anyone in the hunting or sporting arena that goes out with an assault rifle.
I just think, you know, when we talk about a politician, I think a person has to be themselves. Let the voters see the real you.
I think it's time to rebuild America.
If it's concerning immigration, do something on immigration, put your concerns on the President's actions and I'll vote on them. I'm not going to play politics and start playing around with the Homeland Security, there's no pressure that's going to change where I am.
I am very proud of the critical role West Virginians play in providing energy to our nation.
I strongly believe that every American should always be rooting for our president to do well, no matter which political party that he or she might belong to.
