“West Virginia continues to prove what happens when you make the right decisions and put our people first,” Gov. Justice said. “These surpluses haven’t happened by accident – they’re proof of our state’s momentum and growth. Throughout my administration, we’ve shown the nation that West Virginia is a place where businesses can thrive, families can succeed, and opportunities are endless. This kind of success isn’t built overnight—it’s the result of years of hard work, smart fiscal management, and a commitment to excellence. I’m incredibly proud of how far we’ve come, and I have no doubt that the best days for West Virginia are still ahead of us.”

Additional December revenue highlights include:
* Personal income tax collections exceeded estimates by $11.4 million, with year-to-date collections surpassing $1.08 billion.
