Politicking Issue Dead As DOH Investigates

West Virginia Department of Highways officials will not take official action over alleged on the job political activities by Mercer County Roads Superintendent Frank Costello and Safety Division employee Wallace Bailey. District 10 Engineer Julian W. Ware said he interviewed about a dozen DOH workers and found conflicting statements with no definite times. The DOH has counseled Costello and Bailey, warning that such activity during working hours cannot occur, while sources claim multiple sales occurred around lunch hours. Ware forwarded findings to Commissioner Charles Miller as the newspaper reported potential times ranging near 10 a.m. to 1:25 p.m., though no witness saw money exchange. Several DOH employees declined to discuss the matter, fearing job retaliation.
