Politics Stand Protested County shelter committee quits
Kanawha County Court interim committee for the county child shelter resigned in protest against the court's refusal to hand shelter management out of politics. The group said the decision conflicts with norms that would depoliticize the operation and aimed to gain authority over control until a nonpartisan state commission could oversee the shelter. Members cited potential for attracting a highly qualified superintendent and noted current leadership under Mrs. Gling, McClane, and her husband. The resignation follows a previous flare over mismanagement at the Dunbar shelter and a search that yielded one preferred candidate after interviewing two.
