Host:  Joe Gray

Guest:  Sean O’Leary, Economist and Playright, Author of State of the State (WV)

Discussion:  Sean presents his proposal to raise the bulk of WV tax through property taxation as opposed to income and or sales taxes. A greater portion of the tax burden would be shifted to out-of-state residents who hold large tracts of WV property.  Sean argues that this could result in more money in the hands of WV consumers and this would be a boost to the economy.
