The Capitol Report Jeff Campbell August28, 2018 On June 26, Governor Jim Justice called the second extraordinary session of the 2018 West Virginia Legislature. The governor's proclamation, House Resolution 201, called "for the limited purpose of considering and acting upon the following matters: Matters relating to the removal of one or more Justices of the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia, including, but not limited to, censure, impeachment, trial, conviction and disqualification " When a special session is called, the governor sets the agenda, and only those bills on the call are up for debate. The House Judiciary Committee met nine times from July 12 to August 7, when Articles of Impeachment were voted on by the members. That led to the continuation of the second extraordinary session on August 13 and 14. All four remaining Justices - Robin Davis, Allen Loughry, Beth gain in violation of West Virginia Code. I voted yes, and this article was adopted, 96-0 4 Article 10 - Providing false testimony to the House Finance Committee. Loughry made statements under oath before the West Virginia House of Delegates Finance Committee with the deliberate intent to deceive, regarding renovations and purchases for his office, asserting that he had no knowledge and involvement in these renovations. I voted yes, and this article was adopted, 94-2-4. Article 11 - Directed that personal pictures and items be placed in customized picture frames and be paid for by state monies, with these items later being removed from his state office and converted to his personal use and benefit. House Judiciary chairman John Shott withdrew this article, so there was no vote. Loughry was suspended from the West Virginia Supreme Court in June following a 32-count statement of charges by the state's Judicial Investigation Commission following alleged violations of the Judicial Code of Conduct. His false testimony to the House Finance Committee, moving the Cass Gilbert desk from the capitol (on West Virginia Day 2013) for his home office for over four years, along with using state vehicles and gas cards to make trips to promote his book, and using Court computers for his its money, but it should not be the basis for impeachment. On November 9, I took an oath on the House floor to uphold the Constitution of the State of West Virginia. My votes on these articles refects my respect for the oath I swore to uphold. Impeachment is serious and should be used for high crimes. Overspending in these cases is poor judgment, but it's not a crime. Should the ability to impeach be determined by a disagreement in personal taste or the amount on the price tag? This is dangerous territory and should not be used as a complete takeover of separate branch of government. On November 6, West Virginia voters will have a chance to amend the Constitution through Amendment 2, which will give the constitutional authority for legislative oversight on the Supreme Court's budget. I will vote yes on Amendment 2 on Election Day. Senior Status Circuit Judges- Article 4 - In their role as Chief Justice, Justice Davis and Justice Workman are accused of signing offon skirting the law regarding a cap on payments to senior status circuit judges. I voted no, and this article was adopted, 62- 34-4. Article 5 - In her role as Chief Justice, Justice Davis is accused of signing 'off on skirting the law regarding a cap on payments to senior status mrcuit judges.

Senior status circuit judges Article 3 - Taking home an Justice Davis spent approximately are appointed to vacancies when a antique Cass Gilbert desk. Gilbert is the architect who designed our state capitol. On June 20, 2013, six months into his term on the bench, Loughry had one of these antique desks removed from the capitol and taken to his home in Charleston, where it stayed for four and a half years. This violated a West Virginia Code which prohibiting the removal of original furnishings of the state capitol from the premises. I voted yes, and this article was adopted, 97-0-3. Article 8 - Using state vehicles for personal use. Beginning in December 2012, Loughry intentionally acquired state vehicles for personal use, including the use of a state-issued fuel card to travel to, among other places, The Greenbrier on one or more occasions for book signing and sales of the book he authored, "Don't Buy Another Vote, I Won't Pay for a Landslide: The Sordid And Continuing History of Political Corruption in West Virginia." This charge constitutes the use of state resources and property for personal gain in violation of West Virginia Code. I voted yes, and this article was adopted, 96-0-4. Article 9 - Using state computers for personal use. Loughry used state resources, such as computer equipment and hardware for predominantly personal use, including a computer not intended to be connected to the court's network, utilized state resources to install computer access services as his home for predominantly personal use, and utilized state resources to provide maintenance and repair of computer services for his residence. This acts as the use of state resources and property for personal $500,000 to renovate and remodel her personal office, which included a $20,500 oval rug, an $8,000 desk chair, and over $23,000 in design services. I voted no, and this article was adopted, 56-41-3. Article 12 - Justice Walker spent approximately $131,000 to renovate and remodel her personal office, which included $27,000 in items listed as office furnishings and wallpaper, l voted no, and this article was rejected, 51-44-5. Article 13 - Justice Workman spent $111,000 to renovate and remodel her personal office, which included the purchase of wide plank cherry flooring. Using the dollar amount standard set in rejecting Article 12, Chairman Shott withdrew this article, so there was no vote. Article 14 - The four justices - Davis, Loughry, Walker, and Workman - failed to hold each other accountable including remodeling offices, unaccountable personal use of state vehicles, regular lunches from restaurants, framing of personal items, etc. Article 14 charges the justices failed to provide reasonable and proper supervisory oversigkt of the operations of the Supreme Court. I voted no, and this article was adopted, 51.-44-5. I voted no on these articles because, as much as I disapprove of the lavish spending, the legislative branch has no authority over the judicial branch's budget. In fact, the Court controls its own budget and is provided that authority under our Constitution. Therefore, no law was broken. I don't agree with the Court purchasing a $32,000 couch, but it's not illegal. I cannot and will not defend the way the Court has spent sitting judge is sick, suspended, or not available to do their job. State law limits the amount of money a senior status circuit judge can make. The Court converted senior status circuit judges who were close to the gap to independent contractors, so they receive a 1099 instead ofa W2. This allowed some judges to make more than the cap. I voted no on these articles because the Constitution REQUIRES the Court to make sure courts across our state has judges to hear cases. The Constitution trumps the statute. The justices have a duty to make sure circuit courts in West Virginia are open. Most recently, senior status circuit judges have been appointed in Kanawha, McDowell, Nicholas County, and Randolph counties. Post Script - The day after impeachment proceedings ended, Davis resigned from the Supreme Court. Walker and Workman said they would not resign and will face a Senate trial, expected to begin in September. Last Saturday, Governor Justice appointed former Speaker ot the House Tim Armstead and former 3rd District Congressman Evan Jenkins to fill the seats vacated by Ketchum and Davis. Both seats on the bench will be up for election of the unexpired terms on the November 6 General Election ballot. Proudly serving my hometown 42nd District counties of Greenbrier, Monroe and Summers!
