SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 60
(By Senators Sprouse, Deem, Harrison, McKenzie, Minear, Smith and
Guills)
Urging Governor Bob Wise and the Democratic leadership of the
Legislature protect jobs and strengthen the economy by
abandoning the failed and misguided policies which have driven
jobs out of West Virginia for over 70 years.
Whereas, The Democratic Party leadership has ruled West
Virginia for over 70 years and the failed policies over that time
period have caused a severe and sustained loss of manufacturing
jobs in West Virginia. Forty-four people per day leave West
Virginia to find work in neighboring states and a $15 billion debt
exists which will be borne by the children and grandchildren of
West Virginia; and
Whereas, West Virginians have the second lowest per capita
income in the United States while carrying one of the highest tax
loads in the United States; and
Whereas, The failed policies of the last 70 years have caused
thousands of West Virginia families to choose between living in
unjust economic conditions or leaving the state; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Legislature hereby urges Governor Bob Wise and the Democratic leadership of the Legislature protect jobs and
strengthen the economy by abandoning the failed and misguided
policies which have driven jobs out of West Virginia for over 70
years; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Legislature hereby urges all West
Virginia citizens to demand that Governor Bob Wise and their
elected legislators turn away from the failed policies of the last
70 years; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Democratic leadership in the
Legislature is hereby urged to end its 70-year oppression of the
people of West Virginia.
