Judge orders Piedmont to hand over bank records
Mineral Daily News-Tribune
KEYSER - A Mineral County Circuit Court Judge has ordered the City of Piedmont to provide bank statements to a citizen who said his original request for the records was not properly handled.
Dennison Powers originally requested a copy of the city’s bank statements under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) on March 26, but told Judge Lynn Nelson last week what he received was incomplete.
“I asked for bank statements, but I got summary bank statements; it said nothing,” Powers said, adding that there are five accounts in existence that were not included in the statements he received.
