Policy of the House as to Concurrent and House Resolutions; Defining Purpose and Scope of Such Resolutions; Preintroduction Review by Committee on Rules.
Four years ago, economic commentators were trying to write obituaries for West Virginia's steel industry. We fought for steel, and we provided crucial funding to get our steel mills past their darkest days. Today, West Virginia steel is flowing from upgraded mills, and West Virginia steel is helping rebuild the World Trade Center. (Applause)
In a state that desperately needed business investment, we've put our faith in the future by committing hundreds of millions of dollars toward economic development, and we've drawn significant funds into the state. The total new investment in our economy exceeds $1 billion, including projects like the new Blanchette Rockefeller Neurosciences Institute; Cabela's; the Marshall University Biotechnology Development Center; and The West Virginia High Technology Consortium.
Taken together, these investments constitute the largest jobs creation package ever in our state's history.
We worked together - business, labor and government - in many areas of economic development, particularly the implementation of the Vision Shared proposals.
We stimulated venture capital like never before. We removed barriers to new businesses and provided support to existing enterprises. And we rescued our Workers' Compensation system from bankruptcy. (Applause)
We have a record enrollment in the Children's Health Insurance Program, and moved to the top level of states in providing health coverage for children. We also made it possible for small businesses to obtain cheaper health coverage for their employees.
The Legislature led the national movement to fight the soaring cost of prescription drugs, a cost that threatens people and families and drags down our entire economy.
We enacted a Patients' Bill of Rights to give patients and doctors the right to make their own health care decisions; elevated mental health care to equality with other treatment; and provided coverage for people with high health risks.
Two years ago, the most pressing problem facing this Legislature was how to keep West Virginia's doctors from leaving the state. Today, because of the work we did together, hospitals in every part of the state are now keeping their doctors and recruiting new ones. (Applause)
We revitalized the Golden Mountaineer Card, and we gave seniors a prescription drug benefit.
We found extra funding to assist persons with Alzheimer's disease.
We are building the first Veterans' Nursing Home in the state to give older and disabled vets a place to live in dignity.
West Virginia's people honor and value our soldiers and veterans. They proved that once more by approving our constitutional amendment to give returning soldiers from Afghanistan, Iraq and Kosovo a bonus for their service.
We preserved thousands of acres of precious land in special places like the Blackwater Canyon and the Cheat Canyon.
We provided new resources to reclaim land polluted or disturbed by past mining practices.
We protected our waters by establishing the people's interest in all of our rivers and streams and establishing a system to measure water resources and water use.
We made West Virginia the outdoor capital of the nation by aggressively supporting and promoting hunting, fishing, rafting, skiing, mountain biking and all the other adventure sports that are possible here.
We provided millions of additional dollars to counties to build state-of-the-art schools.
We saved parents and families more that $6 million with back-to-school sales tax holidays.
We provided incentives for teachers to become nationally certified, and, when possible, significantly increased their salaries.
We greatly increased our investment in higher education and provided the greatest level ever of research funding to strengthen our colleges and universities.
We created the Governor's School for Mathematics and Science from my unused inaugural funds to nurture our brightest young people.
We are raising standards in high schools. The results are clear--rising scores on standardized tests make better-prepared freshmen in our colleges and universities.
We are sending more and more students to college. In fact, our college-going rate, for the first time in history, equals the U.S. average. (Applause)
Our college students are doing better, too. The number who continue successfully beyond the freshman year is rising as the results of our work percolate up through the college system.
