West Virginia is adding a commemorative coin to the celebratory mix for its 150th birthday, the commission overseeing the sesquicentennial activities announced Saturday.
Six at-will employees of the West Virginia Attorney General's Office
have been fired.
The Charleston Gazette reports that a file clerk, a
paralegal, two temporary clerks and two interns were notified of their
terminations Friday. The terminations are effective Nov. 23.
The firings came days after Attorney General Darrell McGraw
lost his re-election bid for a sixth term. His current term ends Jan. 14, 2013.
Managing deputy attorney general Fran Hughes says the
firings were related to performance. She says the election's outcome had
