Former Dunbar Mayor Ordered To Pay Restitution
{Charleston, West Virginia}...Former Dunbar Mayor Roger Wolfe has been ordered to pay nearly $26,000 in fines, costs and restitution after the state Ethics Commission ruled that Wolfe inappropriately took monetary compensation from Dunbar city coffers for his expenses against the wishes of the city council. Wolfe, elected in 2005, was at odds with council over several issues immediately after he took office. Six council members eventually went to circuit court to have him removed from office, and a three-judge panel agreed with them in 2008. The state Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal. Wolfe has vowed to continue the legal battle.
