Gov. Justice: West Virginia Really Cooking After Another Month Of Huge Surplus

CHARLESTON, WV – Gov. Jim Justice announced today that West Virginia’s General Revenue collections for October 2022 of nearly $492.6 million were $147.8 million above estimates and 29% ahead of prior year receipts. Year-to-date record collections of $2.019 billion were $574.8 million above estimate.

“We knocked it out of the park again,” Gov. Justice said. “That's really, really, really good stuff. We keep churning it out in West Virginia, and you know, the last thing I'm going to do is be ashamed of how good we're doing. We want to keep on doing good, and we'll strive with all in us to keep doing good.

"Only thing I would say is just this. I am the business guy who is mindful of running the store the right way. And we know there's gonna be bumps in the road. Right now, we're really cooking. We want to keep on cooking. We don't want to blow our legs off."
