Three-judge panel votes to remove Marmet mayor from office
[WCHSTV] MARMET, W.Va. -- A three-judge panel has voted to remove Marmet Mayor Bill Pauley from office.The panel voted on Thursday, according to Kanawha County Commissioner Kent Carper. Pauley faces removal after 99 residents signed a petition saying they wanted him removed. The complaint says Pauley encouraged ineligible voters who weren't Marmet residents to cast votes during early voting in 2013. Pauley entered a conciliation agreement, similar to a plea bargain, with the state Ethics Commission Sept. 29 over two counts of violating the state Ethics Act for personal gain. Pauley has been mayor of Marmet for 37 years. In November, he denied any wrongdoing to the newspaper. Posted by: Fred 2016-02-20 |
