Supreme Court Will Be Audited

Legislative auditors have set their sights on the West Virginia Supreme Court. The Gazette-Mail reports auditors notified the legislative Post-Audits Committee on Sunday that they planned to audit the state Supreme Court this year. The announced plans follow news reports from late last year of the court spending more than $3.7 million to renovate and redecorate justices’ Capitol offices. Chief Justice Allen Loughry was also reported to have furnished his home office with furniture from the court.
