Justice
CHARLESTON – Gov. Jim Justice will reside in Charleston, according to a settlement in a case filed by a former state delegate.
The settlement order was filed March 1 in Kanawha Circuit Court. Isaac Sponaugle filed the lawsuit as a citizen against Justice in 2018.
“The parties agree that Respondents’ voluntary agreement to reside at the seat of government within the meaning of the Constitution renders this case moot and the case should be dismissed,” the order states. Sponaugle
Justice said he’s pleased the case has been resolved.
“The Governor will, of course, abide by the recent ruling of the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, and he and Mr. Sponaugle agree that the case is now moot,” spokesman Jordan Damron said in a statement. “The Governor will continue working hard every day on the issues that matter to the lives of West Virginians.”
