| Ho, hum.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has one again ranked West Virginia as "as the worst in the country for its business legal climate." (Third year in a row.)
Here's a challenge for those parroting this statistic: instead of talking about the climate, let's talk about the weather.
- What specific lawsuits in the last year do you think were incorrectly decided?
- What specific lawsuits should have never been brought to court?
- What out of courts settlements occurred in West Virginia because companies were afraid of W.Va. courts?
I'm willing to bet most West Virginia citizens support the outcome of those cases. In fact, most small business owners might be happy with the outcomes, too. I'll even take it a step further... I wonder what most businesses not named Massey Energy thought of those cases?
Come on, I'm listening, let's starting hearing that list. If the climate was so bad all last year, what days did we have really bad weather? |
