West Virginia Regains Familiar Position

Governor disappointed by state rank

"West Virginia is ranked at the bottom of Forbes Magazine’s list of the best states to do business. The list put out recently ranked the Mountain State 50th on its annual list, dropping one spot from last year to now trail Louisiana."

Even the worst disaster to hit Louisiana since the War of Northern Aggression (Civil War) couldn't keep them in our spot for long. As I have said for many years now, West Virginia has three possibilities to get out of the bottom and stay there.

  • Puerto Rico becomes our 51st State

  • We are reunified with the Commonwealth of Virginia

  • A sustained Republican takeover of the three branches of State government
