Marmet Mayor Enters Ethics Agreement

Marmet Mayor Bill Pauley was to have a hearing Tuesday, but instead will enter into a conciliation agreement on two counts of violating the state Ethics Act. Pauley is accused of using public office for private gain for having Marmet’s software vendor remotely log on to the town’s computer to print him a check for $6,120, and for voter registration. The hearing had been scheduled with the West Virginia Ethics Commission.
