  • On December 11, 2024, United States Attorney Will Thompson held a press conference with law enforcement officials and other partners at the Robert C. Byrd U.S. Courthouse in Charleston, W.Va., to announce an 18-count indictment charging Michael David Barker, 47, of Foster, with mail fraud, conspiracy to commit mail fraud, theft concerning programs receiving federal funds, and money laundering.

    Boone county schools consist of 3 highschools, 2 middle schools and 6 elementary schools plus a few outreach/alternative education programs. How did they have the budget for this to be possible? Bidenomics, maybe.

      Which one? Several people spoke.
      If you're talking about the federal US Attorney, he may or may not be, he was appointed by Joe Biden, although typically US Attorneys in each area the current president takes the recommendation of the sitting US Senators, no matter what party they hail from, but WV had Manchin as a Democrat when the US Attorney was nominated by Biden, and Manchin only switched to an independent this year. Manchin serves along with Republican Shelley Moore Capito.
