Former Wyoming Co. Director Wins Court Battle
Wyoming Co. W. Va. Former Wyoming County Council on Aging Director Bob Graham has won a court battle involving the state of West Virginia. A claim by the state that Graham was paid an excessive salary and benefits while serving as director for the council has been dismissed. In 2006, Graham was convicted on one count of cashing out $31,129 in sick leave without his employer's approval, but the conviction was later overturned. He has been at odds with the state over his frozen retirement account since being released from prison. He is now appealing a federal judge's refusal to sign a certificate of innocence.
