Moore, Jr., Jay Rockefeller, Robert C. Byrd, Gaston Caperton, A. James Manchin, Joe Manchin and the list goes on and on. . . From governors to judges to local magistrates, you wont be able to put down this new tell-all book on dishonest and illegal government officials in the state of West Virginia. People cite incidents of corruption that have occurred in their states and say, "Corruption in politics happens everywhere and West Virginia is just another corrupt State." If corruption truly is as prevalent in every state to the extent it is in West Virginia then there is no hope for democracy to survive. Clearly, it is not as bad in other states and [this] book shows the outrageousness of West Virginias political corruption, an area in which the State, unfortunately, is unrivaled!
