Manchin Says Farewell To West Virginia
WEST VIRGINIA....
Canvassing has been completed, and Governor Joe Manchin, who served for six years, has been officially declared an elected member of the U.S. Senate. Now, Manchin heads to Washington where, on Monday, he'll take the oath of office, filling the vacancy left by longtime Senator Robert C. Byrd. During his farewell speech Friday, Manchin told a crowd that Washington can learn a little about West Virginia's accomplishments which include legislation that makes the mine industry safer, balancing the budget, reducing the state sales tax by 3% and creating the 5th largest rainy day fund in the nation.
