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.
I can assure you that my wife and I - every penny of income we've ever had, our taxes were paid in West Virginia.
Come to West Virginia and we'll show you how to live... how to treat people. We're open for business. West Virginia is truly on the move.
I fully expect to be able to complete one more campaign goal - and that is to proudly report that signs have been erected as you enter our great state that say 'Welcome to Wild, Wonderful West Virginia: Open for Business!'
Whoever is president, my first priority is the same - as always. I look for what's best for West Virginia and the nation as a whole.
In West Virginia, the most vulnerable people we have are people who get up every morning and go to work.
Come to West Virginia and we'll show you how to live ... how to treat people. We're open for business. West Virginia is truly on the move,
We will not add to any price increases to West Virginians,
It doesn't make any difference what political party you belong to, ... I just called and said, Rick, I'll do something.
I believe that the senior citizens of today have been overlooked as sources of strength, stability and vitality in our communities. And by too often discounting the value of seniors and the wisdom they offer, programs have been developed to assist seniors that do not truly address their very real needs and desires.
I have frozen the state sales tax on gasoline,
I'm a proud graduate of the Richard Petty Driving Experience, ... They wouldn't let me go any faster than 140 mph and I didn't particularly like that, but what a thrill to be able to participate in something like that.
Twenty-one percent of West Virginians are not connected to water, 45 percent are not connected to sewer. I cannot live with those statistics, I want them reduced and then wiped out completely.
