Jim Justice in 2018 Governor's State of the State speeches


On Corporations: Just Cut Taxes And Win: start with business taxes

I'm going to call something JCTAW. And it's going to stand for Just Cut Taxes And Win. What I want to start with is the elimination of the tax on manufacturing machinery and equipment and manufacturing inventory.

On Education: Support non-college career paths

We got to build this workforce like we can't imagine. I want us to develop a way to where kids in high school and the trades can get an associate degree while they're in high school. I also want us to add, if it's possible, a 13th year where they can get additional accreditation or additional certifications. I want somehow, some way, for us to be able to make our community and technical colleges free.

On Energy & Oil: Coal miners back work is good; let's have more

Now, we celebrate our coal miners going back to work. We need not to be satisfied with the numbers that we have back today. We need to be sure that those people are some way looked after from a safety standpoint the very best they possibly can--or can be. But in addition to that, we have got to get more of our coal miners to work. It is an absolute unbelievable thing to travel down through the coalfields and see communities coming back to life. But we got to have more. And then more on top of that.

On Free Trade: Change the trade imbalance with China

China is a possibility beyond all of our possible dreams. It could really happen. And the reason it could probably happen is two things. And these are Trump cards that we have. And they're true Trump cards. President Trump genuinely wants the trade imbalance with China to change. And President Trump has put his first foot forward to say a big part of that change is going to happen in West Virginia. And I'll promise you, President Trump and I are friends.
