H. R. 14--"Requesting our congressional representatives to
introduce the Economic Fairness Act of 1993."
Whereas
, The five states that had the highest average
unemployment during the previous three years are identified
annually; and
Whereas
, Those five states so identified are entitled to a
refund of ten percent of their federal income tax collections
from the previous year. The maximum refund to one state would be
one billion dollars; and
Whereas
, The states receiving the refunds would be required
to spend the money on job creating projects, such as rebuilding
the state's infrastructure; and
Whereas
, West Virginia qualifies as one of the five states
this year. If passed, the Economic Fairness Act of 1993 would
result in a refund to West Virginia of approximately
$350,000,000.00; therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Delegates:
That our congressional representatives are requested to
introduce the Economic Fairness Act of 1993 and that a copy of
this resolution be forwarded to each senator and congressman of
the State of West Virginia.
