{Charleston, West Virginia}...Retired Cabell County Circuit Judge Dan O'Hanlon is now the state's vice chancellor for technology and the director of WVNET, the state agency that provides Internet to college campuses. He's also a man of two state incomes. O'Hanlon collects $7,875 a month, $95,000 a year, from his judicial pension, and position as vice chancellor pays $120,000 a year. O'Hanlon announced in mid-August 2010 that he would retire effective October 31, 2010. In early September 2010, he signed a contract to become the vice chancellor starting on November 1, 2010, the day after he left the bench. Since O'Hanlon took the higher education job, he also has billed the state for thousands of dollars of travel within the state and to out-of-state conferences. Since January 2011, O'Hanlon has billed the state about $11,500 for travel between Morgantown and Charleston and, occasionally, Huntington, where he lives and has another state office. O'Hanlon and current Higher Education Policy Commission Chancellor Paul Hill says the state is getting a good deal.
