Better Schools
John Doyle worked to persuade the Economic Development Grant
Committee to award Jefferson County $6 million for a second
high school. He worked to get $19 million from the School Building
Authority, to help build that high school and improve our current
one. John led the fight to require civics classes and to strengthen
mathematics requirements in all state high schools.
•
Better Jobs
Delegate Doyle has worked to change state law to make it easier
for new technology companies to create jobs here. The $25 million
he helped obtain for our schools will result in better technical
education, which will help attract high wage companies to Jefferson
County. John is working to significantly lower the business
franchise tax, that makes it harder for new businesses to succeed.
•
Better Controls on Growth
John Doyle was a leader in the fight to pass the farmland protection
law, and he made sure it was funded. John's efforts helped change
the Local Powers Act so that Jefferson County could more easily
impose impact fees on residential development.
•
Better Health Care
John
sponsored innovative legislation that will let West Virginians
purchase prescription drugs at the same low prices the drug
companies offer to foreign countries. |
