Marmet Town Council Questions Actions Of Mayor
WEST VIRGINIA....
In 2009, Marmet voters elected Dave Fontalbert as new town recorder and replaced most of the Town Council. Mayor Bill Pauley and council members have butted heads ever since. This summer, the council voted to stop allowing Pauley to collect about $600 a month for running Marmet's weekly bingo game, saying the arrangement was against the law. Council members also allege Pauley should not receive PEIA health insurance and suspect he is allowing town employees to use the town's Kroger card for personal use. Pauley says council members and Fontalbert have a personal vendetta against him. At a regular Town Council meeting Monday, members will consider whether to hire an independent lawyer to look into allegations of improprieties by Pauley.
