LEWISBURG – The $8 million lien filed against the daughter of Gov. Jim Justice could be related to the family’s sale of coal businesses to a Russian company.
A notice of a federal tax lien was filed March 26 in Greenbrier County Clerk Robin Loudermilk’s office by the Internal Revenue Service against Jill Justice Long. While the filing provides little information other than numbers, it does show all of the liens listed are for personal income taxes for Justice Long, who now is president of The Greenbrier resort.
A bulk of the $8,033,935.45 total is from her personal income taxes for 2009. That amount is more than $6.5 million. Justice Long was in med school in 2009, but she also was listed as an owner in Delaware Court of Chancery filings related to a 2014 lawsuit filed by Mechel Bluestone and Mechel Mining against the James C. Justice Companies, the governor and family.
