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.
