151 AnonymousWhat is wrong with WV, Virginia is even wanting them to participate in this tax free day so they can come over here and shop.

155 AnonymousThis is needed for everyone in West Virginia. Virginia is a neighboring state with this privledge. West Virginia is losing thousands of dollars in business.

157 MicheleNot all families are eligible for clothing vouchers. I think this helps the people that can't get those clothing vouchers.

159 Tammy CurtisIt's one weekend out of the whole year I'm sure it's not gonna bankrupt the whole business word and shouldn't we average people who work to make a living and take care of our families actually get a break once in a while.

163 AnonymousMy family makes too much to qualify for clothing vouchers (or much of anything else for that matter) even though we could really use it. Both of my children will need entire new wardrobes for school due to growth spurts, and a tax free weekend would help us by a few extra things for them than we would normally be able to get. Think of the children the tax free weeekend benefits, and not the businesses who may lose a few bucks for one weekend, please.
164 melindaI, we in wv need this little break. please reinstate..

168 Bobbi RobertsThis should definitly be reinstated. If WV is "Open for Business" then we should not be losing money to other states. I, myself, will go to Virginia. Even if Virginia was 50 miles from me I would still go, if only to make a point to my state governor.
169 em harlessi believe that its important to those less fortunate to be able to shop on a tax free weekend to save more and possible buy maybe a little extra items. if there is no tax free weekend then those folks less fortunate will be less likely to get the extra benefits available otherwise. thanks

171 jessica parsonsi am a mother who lives on a single income . with my husband being off work now with a injury from work would help us . so if WEST VIRGINIA IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS . then let's open up !!!
172 John BrennskagI'm headed to VA! :(

175 Dustin Adkins, PA-CI think it is a travesty that our Governor has eliminated this program. We are being killed with taxes, let's get a break sometimes!

179 christywe need this
180 Lora QuinceI was upset that we did not have the Tax free Holiday this year. This is an excellent savings for parents who are in the mid-class income range. Anyone in low class gets vouchers for school clothes and high class are able to afford clothes and supplies for their kids.
181 Thomas JeffersonBring back the back to school tax free holiday. I just used the Tennessee tax free weekend this past weekend (3-5 August)
182 Bobi BryantThis is such a benefit to our families. Surely one weekend a year is not too much to ask of the State of West Virginia to help families that are struggling with shrinking budgets.
183 Brandi HallI think that it is ridiculous that school supplies cost so much since they are needed. As a child with more than one other sibling, I know how hard it is to afford the necessary items for a good education. Also, I believe that the open for business slogan is a stupid one if business is in fact no open for those who cannot afford it

186 AnonymousI live in Virginia and have a college student, I am very fortunate that VA had a tax free weekend! I always traveled to WV also to shop for the tax free. Unlike my self there are many parents who could use the tax break, it is a shame that the children have to suffer and be shamed for visual poverty when WV's Gov could help them

189 Anonymousplease reinstate the tax free holiday!
190 Geneva IngramI think that WV should have the tax free weekend especially for the people that can not get a clothing voucher for there child. I myself went to Tennesse over that weekend and will do so next year if WV doesn't have one and they do or I will go to Va.
