WV Governor Race

Monty Warner is running for governor of West Virginia. This is apparently how a good Republican conducts business in West Virginia:

Their building is worth more than $1 million, but their property tax bill was only $5.57.
They bought the building three years ago for $10,000, and recently put it on the market for $795,000.
And their family businesses are delinquent on more than $75,000 in local property taxes.

“Things are dead in Philippi. No new company wants to come to Philippi, West Virginia. No new business wants to move to West Virginia,” he (Kris Warner) said.

The Warners are delinquent on what little property taxes they were charged for this year on the $1 million property, Sipe said — $5.55.
….
Another company owned by the four brothers, McCoy 6, owes more than $50,000 in property taxes in Morgantown.

Thanks to S for the heads up.
