CHARLESTON, W.Va. — West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice said Thursday that he has appointed an acting cabinet secretary overseeing numerous state agencies after the predecessor resigned when approached about conflict of interest allegations.
West Virginia ethics law prohibits state workers from using their positions for the private gain of themselves or others. According to Justice, Scott said he didn’t want to cause embarrassment or a problem for the Republican governor’s administration. “So he resigned. That’s the end of the story,” Justice said.
