I am still planning on buying a home in Weirton and commuting here - the taxes are so much lower. However, there are no doctors - I read in NR that the last neurosurgeon is now gone from WV.
I also read that Wise was elected with the help of the trial bar. For some trivia, a guy that writes for the Charleston paper that did a major hit piece on the doctors was a dorm mate of mine. I hope his insurance bills are exploding.
Yes, you can exchange the high taxes of Allegheny County for the doctorless environs of the Northern Panhandle, but you'd still probably come out ahead.
