CHARLESTON, WV: "Some West Virginia lawmakers were lining up for drug tests Wednesday at the Capitol.

The West Virginia State Building and Construction Trades Council is offering free drug testing for legislators. The group is using the event to educate lawmakers about testing and to try to remove the stigma that local workers can't pass a drug test.

The group contends that West Virginia union construction workers after years of drug testing have only a 2 percent problem rate compared to 15 percent nationwide. It will be up to lawmakers if they release their individual test results."

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — "Former state Supreme Court Justice Allen Loughry was sentenced Wednesday afternoon to spend two years in federal prison after his conviction last fall on total counts of wire fraud and mail fraud.

U.S. District Judge John Copenhaver enhanced the federal sentencing guidelines by three levels. The guidelines called for a sentence of 10 to 16 months.

Loughry was convicted last October on 11 criminal counts in connection with finances involving the state Supreme Court and Loughry’s personal use of state property.

The mail fraud counts charged Loughry with improperly seeking travel expense reimbursement for travel to a conference, even though he had used a state vehicle and a state-issued gasoline purchasing card.

The similar wire fraud counts charged Loughry with using a state vehicle and state-issued gasoline purchasing card for personal travel. Most of those trips were for signing events for Loughry’s book on political corruption in West Virginia."
