Manchin Officials Seek Ethics Exemptions
WEST VIRGINIA....
State ethics law bars public officials from seeking jobs with businesses or persons that are regulated for one year after leaving government. Governor Joe Manchin's Chief of Staff Jim Spears and General Counsel Jonathan Deem are seeking ethics exemptions to seek employment in the private sector. In their requests, both Spears and Deem say they don't have immediate plans to leave the Governor's office, but they may have to seek other employment, if Manchin wins the November 2nd bid for U.S. Senate.
