Editorial calls for Tonkovich to disclose tax returns and conflicts
The editorial accuses Sen Dan Tonkovich of contempt for supporters by not releasing tax returns and denying business ties to firms that could be affected by legislation. It cites payments from Blue Cross Blue Shield, the West Virginia Medical Association and Ogden Leisure Corp for polls, arguing this poses potential conflicts of interest. It condemns his stance that voters have no right to know and urges a public explanation and stronger enforcement of conflict rules.
