Rockefeller used state jet for speaking engagements
Gov. Jay Rockefeller logged expensive travel on West Virginia's Beechcraft King Air, the state jet bought in 1979, with last year’s bill over 115 thousand dollars. The Finance Department notes six flight staffers and 500 per hour charges to agencies. Rockefeller dominated usage as others shared the plane, with trips to Wheeling Williamson Huntington Martinsburg and major cities. Meanwhile state payroll rose 32 percent from 395 million in 1975 to 520 million this year despite a 25 percent staff drop, reflecting 1965 to 1975 expansion and inflation. Staggers announces bid for West Virginia's 2nd District House seat, citing hurting people, for a second try after 1980. He turns 31 Monday and avoids a big press event.
