To: Jim Justice
Justice for Governor
PO BOX 40027
Charleston, WV 25364
(304) 926-0303
Dear Mr. Justice,
To start let me say that your
speech at the WV State Democratic
‘Party Convention literally brought
tears to my wife’s and my own eyes.
It is clear you understand the
desperation and hopelessness that
the average West Virginian faces. Of
my close friends and college
companions in the early 803, I was
the only one able to remain in the
‘state following graduation, and that‘
only because I had a family business
where I could find employment. And
we, of course, were the lucky ones.
Central to your speech was the
diversification ‘of WS economy. 1
cannot agree more because I have
worked in cultural and community
development for many years of my
life with a focus on tourism
development. The WV Center on the
(Budget and Policy has an excellent
report and presentation on their
website ( www.vaolicy.org/how-
legalizingmarijuana—could—impact-

west-Virginia ) explaining the
profound impact that the
legalization of recreation, medical,
and industrial marijuana can have I
on the State’s budget crisis and the
livelihoods of our fellow West
Virginians. As per the WV Chamber
of Commerce our state is located
within a 500-mile radius of over 50%
of the population of the United
States and given the Federal
prohibition on the transportation of
cannabis across state lines,
marijuana consumed in WV must be
produced in the state and the
product, as demonstrated in
Colorado and Washington State, will
act as a tremendous tourist draw. At
taxation levels of 25% per ounce, the
estimated state tax revenues would
amount to $194 million and,
therefore, represents $776 million in
retail sales.
It is not clear how much revenue
. will be generated from hotels,
restaurants, and destinations
catering to the ,needs of out-of-state
visitors but what we do know is that
every year since Colorado’s
legalization that their cannabis
tourism has grown and that the,
state in 2014 had 71.3 million
visitors and tourism revenue of
$18.6 billion. In comparison, West
Virginia in 2014 had $4.5 billion in
revenues. The evidence from
Colorado is indisputable legalized
marijuana has been a boon for their
tourism economy and a Godsend for
their governmental tax base and
ability to provide public services.
The following report by the Drug
Policy Alliance illustrates the impact
on Colorado in only the first six
months ( http://wWwdrugpolicyorg
colorado—six-month-status—report ).
While we may not want to give up
on King Coal, it is critical that we
embrace Green Gold and quickly
before this business opportunity is
lost to us. >
Your third party opponent has
already endorsed this plank of the
WV Democratic Party and your
Republican challenger has as usual
taken a position to drag us further
into the dark ages of corruption and
cronyism that, has placed our state
in 50th in so many national
rankings. At the Greenbrier County
Democratic Party Executive
Committee meeting you were right
to say “If you are tired of being last,
vote for me!”
Sincerely,
Gregg Wingo

Raildog Reminiscences
reprint from The Train
Dispatcher with permission.
Frank Taylor of Hawthorne,
Calif., goes a long way back. He was
born in 1885, and the roads for
which he worked have long since
faded into oblivion or been absorbed
, by bigger ones. In 1903 he w“’as
working for the Keokuk & Western
at Sedan, Iowa. A big dog jumped
from the southbound passenger
train of the Chicago, Burlington &
Kansas City, galloped over to the
westbound Keokuk & Western train
and boarded its baggage car. Being
a husky beast with an ominous
growl, the trainmen could not get
him to leave the car and admittedly
did not try too hard. During ensuing
weeks the dog again made the same
trip a number of times. Finally, one
day, the southbound CB&KC train
was late and missed connections
with the K&W. On that particular
day, there was a corpse unloaded
from CB&KC which was to have
been transferred to the K&W. After
the corpse was unloaded, the same
dog jumped from the baggage car.
Arrangements were made to load
the remains in an empty box car to
move on a K&W freight train later
in the day. After the coffin was
loaded and before the box car door
was sealed, the dog jumped into the
car. No amount of persuasion or
threats with heavy sticks could drive
the dog from the car, so the man in
charge let the dog accompany the

body.
Mr. Taylor says, “I never did find
out anything further about that dog
- it was a mystery to all of us who
knew the story. I have a theory that
the dog attended the funeral, then
laid down and died of a broke heart.”
There is a little-known story
about President Franklin B.
Roosevelt. In 1942 he was making a
secret rail tour of war plants and
defense bases and had reached the
Northern Pacific depot at Billings,
Mont., apparently without even the
road’s operating employee being
aware of his proximity. At Billings,
someone let a black Scottish terrier
off the train for a bit of exercise, The
animal _was noticed by NP Chief
Clerk Gordon Allison, who was
something of a dog fancier. Mr.
Allison walked over to the visitor
and read on the collar, “Fala, White
House, Washington, DC.” The chief
Clerk realized that if the movement
of the President’s train became
generally known, there might be
trouble, so he kept his mouth shut.
Afterward he wrote Mr. Roosevelt
suggesting that Fala’s collar plate be
kept concealed on confidential
missions, and received an
appreciative reply from the
President’s secretary, Stephen Early.
Not all stories of railroad dogs
have happy endings. During World
War II, as has probably been truevin
all wars, many dogs affectionately
attached to their masters had to be
left at home when soldiers went

away to serve their country. ‘
Sometimes the same form of
loneliness affects the pets of people
who have to leave their homes for
long periods by reason of business
trips or even vacations. Such was the
case of “Happy,” the pet dog of
William H. Truesdale, president of
the Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western ,Railroad when Mr.
Truesdale sailed for Europe in 1905.
Happy had spent so much of his life
in rail travel with 'I‘ruesdale in his
master’s private railroad car, that
Truesdale, understanding
something of the dog’s loyalty,
foresaw that Happy would probably
hang around the Greenwich station,
and asked the New Haven
employees there to do what they
could for the little dog. And sure
enough, Happy did show up at the
depot. The agent, baggagemaster
and operator tried their best to cheer
him up but the little dog would not
respond. He would climb into the
signal tower and, with a melancholy
expression, watch the trains
thundering by.'His big eyes would
follow them sadly; he refused to eat
and seemed to be pining away.
Finally on Aug. 2, 1905, the
sorrowing pet could stand it no
longer. Happy looked up at the tower
as if to say good bye and then;
according to two eyewitnesses, he
deliberately walked in front of the .N
train. His death was not accidental.
