(Worthy News) – West Virginia’s House of Delegates voted to impeach three Supreme Court of Appeals judges Monday on allegations they wasted more than $3 million in taxpayer funds.
State lawmakers were considering whether to put the entire court on trial after all four of the state’s highest judges have been charged with “unnecessary and lavish” spending of tax dollars to renovate their offices in the state Capitol, The Charleston Gazette-Mail reported.
Justices Allen Loughry and Robin Davis, who were both suspended last week, are expected to face an impeachment trial in the state Senate for allegedly taking part in the office renovation scheme, which included spending $32,000 for a couch and $42,000 for a desk. [ Source: UPI (Read More…) ]
