Exclaiming the desire of West Virginians to change the "Welcome to
West Virginia" signs from the "Open for Business" slogan to
the more traditional and appropriate "Wild, Wonderful West
Virginia" slogan.
Whereas, West Virginia offers majestic beauty from our glorious
mountain tops to our winding country roads to our breathtaking
rivers; and
Whereas, The beauty can be seen from the Potomac Highlands to
the New River Valley to the Eastern Panhandle to the Mountaineer
Country of North Central West Virginia to the Northern Panhandle to
the Metro Valley to the Mid-Ohio Valley; and
Whereas, The beauty is ignored by the "Welcome to West
Virginia" signs that state "Open for Business"; therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Delegates:
That the "Welcome to West Virginia" signs should be changed
back to the traditional and more appropriate "Wild, Wonderful West
Virginia"; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates, forward a certified copy of this resolution to the Governor and
Department of Highways.
