Griffith Statement on Governor McAuliffes Budget Proposals Congressman Morgan Griffith issues the following statement today after the announcement of Governor Terry McAuliffe’s budget proposals that include limiting tax credits coal companies take for coal jobs and production. “The coal industry in Southwest Virginia is already struggling from President Obama’s war on coal and his job killing policies, now Terry McAuliffe is unleashing his war on coal with these new budget proposals.” “Governor McAuliffe’s attack on tax credits and deductions for coal companies will not only result in higher unemployment in Southwest Virginia from coal jobs being cut, it will affect other areas of the Commonwealth as well. If he kills these job encouraging tax credits, money will be necessarily drained away from wealthier areas of the state in order to support schools and infrastructure in the coal-producing region of Southwest Virginia. ###
