A letter to McCarthy was delivered as Flanders announced the move, aiming to separate him from the Government Operations Committee.

Government Road Program in West Virginia Spoils System Exposed
The Gazette review argues West Virginia politics uses the road program to reward supporters. It cites Gov Marland’s use of 2.5 million from the road sinking fund for secondary roads to place loyalists in key posts, urging bi partisan reform and a blueprint of primary toll roads, federal matches, and a strengthened secondary network. The piece calls for voter action and a transformed state government before any road program goals can be achieved.
