Helen, thank you for all you do, not just in Mineral County but in all of West Virginia. I'm awarding you with the highest award I can give, the Distinguished West Virginia Award,
We will not add to any price increases to West Virginians,
Come to West Virginia and we'll show you how to live ... how to treat people. We're open for business. West Virginia is truly on the move,
I can assure you that my wife and I - every penny of income we've ever had, our taxes were paid in West Virginia.
