Delegate Nancy Guthrie, 30th District

Returning Money to Your Community
Making It Safer & Stronger

Attractive communities attract investment. From average citizens looking for well-appointed neighborhoods and communities to businesses looking to house their operations, investment follows the money. When taxes you pay are reinvested in your Main Street, government is working as it is meant to by giving you a rock-solid return on investment.

This view is basic economics but remains the single most challenging pathway to progress facing lawmakers today.

In her first session representing you in the Legislature, Delegate Guthrie worked together with other legislators to return money to your communities for:

• Funding to address equipment upgrades needed to comply with
  accreditation of WVU Tech.
  
  
• Permanent funding a relocation of WV Poison Control Center and Hotline.

  water/sewer main that ruptured during the winter of 2007.
