West Virginia State Treasurer Larry Pack on Tuesday called on Gov. Patrick Morrisey and state lawmakers to eliminate the state’s tax on overtime and tips. Pack asked officials to consider taking up the matter during a special legislative session.

“President Trump promised to abolish the tax on overtime pay and tips, a centerpiece for his tax policies,” Pack said in a news release. “The goal was to help blue-collar and service industry workers who often rely on overtime and tips to make ends meet. Combined with the extension of the 2017 Trump tax cuts, President Trump has delivered, and then some, by enacting some of the largest federal tax cuts in history.”

Pack also spoke about the proposal during an interview with Talkline on West Virginia MetroNews .
