You have pulled all the giveaway stunts with our dollars but acting as if you’re doing us a favor.

We’ve considered your daily broadcast as “campaign events” two months after the pandemic began in March.  

And it has been so very obvious that you are riding the rear end of the coattails of the Trump Train.

But it will work, and you’ll win a second term, but not because you’ve done well. Let’s get that straight. The voters of West Virginia adore President Donald Trump for many reasons, and not because the coal industry is thriving as he promised it would. But you know that, don’t you?

So, since the polls show you’re going to win big as you did over Woody Thrasher in the primary, we wanted to ask you more than a few questions so entering your second term you may actually do something about these existing issues in the state. Ya know, like you said you would four years ago.

Two men speaking while socially distanced.
It is no secret that Gov. Justice switched parties to appease his friends in the White House.
  1. Do you realize you have failed to reach even the most common West Virginians (as you claim to be) during the coronavirus pandemic?
  2. Did you mean for the way you’ve handled the federal CARES Act funds to resemble the way you handle the food relief funds?
  3. Your “Roads to Prosperity” initiative was supposed to include a rebuild of Interstate 70 in Ohio County, so why did you go cheap on it?
  4. Speaking of roadways, you realize your refusal to ride on a school bus along the secondary roads of Marshall County is something those residents still laugh about, right?
  5. Do your financial interests in the coal industry cause you to be unfairly biased against the natural gas industry?
  6. Have you noticed the West Virginia economy has not been diversified as you promised, and all the new revenue streams you have mentioned are still non-existent?
  7. Have you felt how much Democrats despise you since your political party flip?
  8. Have veterans, cancer patients, and seizure sufferers explained to you their frustrations with your old-fashioned denial with medicinal marijuana?
  9. Have you had a family member die from a drug overdose?
  10. Do you refuse to live in the mansion and show up for work every day during the regular session because you fear the Internal Revenue Service will take the properties for back due taxes?

Please do not mistake this letter as a promotion for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ben Salango, Gov. Justice, but do consider it as something of a notice for your second term. And you’re not a lame duck, either, because you want us to be able to stay at the Greenbrier because you’ll NEED our money at the Greenbrier for years to come.

Sincerely,

West Virginians Hoping to Afford The Greenbrier Some Damn Day
