Court weighs public access to Wallace petition signatures
West Virginia Supreme Court hears arguments over whether the Charleston Gazette can inspect and publish nominating petitions for Wallace and Griffin. Assistant Attorney General Leo Catsonis argues public records access is improper for intimidation, while Gazette counsel F Paul Chambers says petition signatures are public information of clear interest.
