New Chief of Staff is Introduced

West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice introduced his new chief of staff, Mike Hall, at a news conference Monday. Hall, the former state Senate finance chairman, takes a post left vacant after the governor fired Nick Casey. Justice said there probably will be more staff changes in the sake of his party switch and the firing of Casey. He said the staff changes will be initiated by him and not by resignations by staff members. The governor said he doesn’t anticipate any cabinet-level changes in the wake of his party switch from Democrat to Republican.
