Not Really Open for Business

It has been nearly a year since Gov. Joe Manchin declared that West Virginia is open for business. He unveiled new signs to be displayed on the highways as motorists entered the state telling them that the state is taking a new approach when it comes to business. I assume, with his name on the signs as well, he has appointed himself to the position of CEO.
