The West Virginia legislature recently passed a bill that would allow the state treasurer to restrict the state's business with financial institutions that adopt corporate policies to cut off financing for the coal, oil, and natural gas industries. The legislation, which was first proposed by state Treasurer Riley Moore, advanced through the state House of Delegates and Senate over the weekend and now heads to the desk of Republican Governor Jim Justice. Moore will be able to create a list of financial institutions that refuse to do business with coal, oil or natural gas companies if Senate Bill 262 becomes law. Moore's office said that companies on the restricted list may not be eligible for state banking contracts because they are trying to diminish state revenue and taxpayer dollars. Moore said in a statement that he was proud to lead the way to protect the coal, oil and natural gas companies from unfair attempts to cut off their access to capital and banking services. It is time to fight back against those who are trying to wipe out middle-class jobs, and once again put America first. Moore's office told the news agency that West Virginia has paid banks annual fees ranging from thousands of dollars to upwards of $3 million. According to the report, Moore's office does not have a list of financial institutions that would be restricted by the proposal. Moore led a coalition of financial officers from 15 states that warned the U.S. banking industry in November that they plan to take action against banks. In a letter to financial institutions, the group threatened to scrutinize or potentially curtail future business with banks that adopt an economic boycott. The group included state treasurers, auditors and comptrollers from all over the country. The financial institutions that have adopted policies aimed at diminishing a large portion of our states revenue were put on notice by the letter. Moore told National Review that the boycott was not really a boycott. He said that the treasurers want banks to be banks and not instruments of the woke agenda. The treasurers noted in November that the coal, oil and natural gas industries provide a good quality of life to citizens in every state. Moore accused the banks of trying to control Americans in comments to National Review. Walmarts are the only businesses in our small towns.
