Manchin's $433 billion reconciliation bill could be costly to West Virginia, some residents worry
Fox News
Manchin supports a revised Build Back Better bill that provides $433 billion in new spending, but some West Virginians are worried about additional costs.
After more than a year of negotiations, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Manchin, of West Virginia, announced an agreement Wednesday on a stripped-down reconciliation package. The legislation would spend $369 billion on green initiatives such as reducing carbon pollution and includes a 15% corporate minimum tax for businesses worth more than $1 billion, according to the bill summary.
"That's way too much money to be spending now with the inflation and everything and all the problems that West Virginians have," Greg, a 35-year resident of West Virginia, said of Manchin's proposal. "It's definitely nothing I would support."
