Motormile US one nineteen in Chapmanville. Coming up on the show The Things Jeff
2:57
that go on behind the scenes here at five eighty Live. It is not
3:00
for the faint of heart. Let me tell you that all right, So
3:04
I got Milly Snyder from the Shape Shop. Milly is in a bit of
3:08
a quandary this morning because, as you know, every Wednesday, they've been
3:13
doing this for the I guess last couple of weeks. It is a food
3:15
truck Friday down at Slight Plaza City Center at Slight Plaza. Well, Milly
3:21
has had a little bit of an issue with getting her truck down there.
3:24
So I've been making phone calls trying to help out Milly Snyder to be able
3:29
to get her truck into position down there because kind of a situation that didn't
3:34
not related to the food at all, was the truck. And so I've
3:37
been trying to help my buddy Milly out. So she's getting that squared away.
3:39
We'll have her here on the show here in just a couple of moments.
3:43
Also coming up a little bit later on, as you know, festival
3:45
is continuing at Charles Mackenzie Spencer's going to join us to talk about that.
3:47
And a new person, a new to the world of politics anyway, has
3:51
signed on the dotted line to run for State Senate, and that is Jerry
3:54
Forred and he's going to join us coming up a little bit later on as
3:58
well. Put your calls and Texter welcome Bigley Pickley Wiggly Hotline three zero four

4:05
nine three five five zero zero eights. I got her in here, the
4:09
lovely the talent of the radiant Millie Snyder. How are you don't stop?
4:14
I mean, I'm enjoying listening to this glad to tell you get do we
4:17
get you straighten out? You got me straightened out. And I am so
4:20
grateful. The driver that I had for today broke down on seventy nine.
4:27
He's waiting for a tow truck so he couldn't come to us. And this
4:30
is all an effort to get the Shape Shop to Track Plaza Slack Plaza,
4:34
okay, And we have to have it on to the Slack Plaza by ten
4:39
fifteen and we're there until two. And people love our truck and they love
4:44
our food, and we're grateful for that. And I am so grateful to
4:48
your friend Tommy who found this gentleman Andrew Palmer of me, who is the
4:56
man who's helping us. He knows exactly where we are. And I am
5:00
so grateful to all of you. Thank you. That's that's what we do,
5:03
you know, obviously. So I mean because I'll tell you, you
5:05
know, I go out, I'm getting ready for the show. I'm in
5:09
here and makeup, you know, getting ready for the radio show. And
5:12
so I that was a joke. Ma. So I come downstairs and I
5:15
see you've just you're out front talking to Leah are a lovely receptionist down here,
5:18
and You've just got this concerned look on your face. And I'm like,
5:20
Millie, what can I do to help you? And you know,
5:24
you're like Mighty Mouse here I come to save the day. It's kind of
5:29
what I remember that. Well, you probably don't remember Mighty I remember Mighty
5:32
Mouse. Remember. But I see a friend in Nina do what I can.
5:35
I'm glad that one of my one of my best friends, Tommy Clay,
5:40
and we get you taken care of. So there you go. I
5:42
am so grateful, all right, you, all right? So what's new?
5:45
I want to say a bunch of things, all right, all right,
5:46
go ahead, true, and I'm not going to name names, okay,
5:49
all right, but I pay attention to some of the food commercials,
5:53
okay, and especially some of these things that say, you know, the
5:57
meat is sliced fresh every day. However there's slicing process meats and these other
6:02
all these other fast food places they are selling processes. And what that means
6:09
in English is we don't know what else is in the food, and it's
6:14
those ingredients that are hurting our health over time. Yes, the argument is,
6:20
but it tastes good and it's easy, and I don't have time to
6:25
pack lunch, or I don't have time to go to a healthy place I
6:29
e. Like the Shape Shop. So that's why I go to fast food.
6:33
But we need to pay attention to what people are selling us. And
6:40
that's my message. I want people to set up pay attention to what they're
6:46
putting in their body, because you know, when our creator put all of
6:51
us together, one at a time, there was no provision for chemicals,
6:57
for preservatives, and that's what causes so many of our health maladies. Now,
7:02
of course, I learned this in addition to eating healthy for the many
7:08
years that I did it through Weight Watchers. Since I became the I guess
7:14
the leader here in Charleston teaching the Mediterranean lifestyle. Mediterranean food is clean,
7:21
it's not processed, and that's one of the things that helps us enjoy longevity.
7:29
You know, people in the Mediterranean. I'm motioning over here, so
7:32
you'll know that that's where the that's where the Mediterranean is. It's on the
7:36
right side of your radio now, thank you very much. Yeah. So
7:41
people there live without disease, with minimal, if any medication, and they
7:47
live to one O six, one o eight, one o two. There's
7:51
got to be something to it. What is that expression that we've heard over
7:55
the years of our life, you are we eat? And if we can
8:00
begin to reverse that through knowledge? Another expression knowledge is power and that's what
8:07
I would like people to know they have. They have the power to make
8:11
some changes, but they've got to get that knowledge in there. And if
8:15
they can get that in there and make small changes. First, I don't
8:18
want people to join Mediterranean and then go home and throw everything away. That's
8:24
stupid and it's also full hearty from the standpoint of what food costs. But
8:28
when you get rid of what's in the house and you begin replacing it,
8:33
let's replace it with healthy stuff. Like as an example, we sell turkey
8:37
the best turkey you've ever eaten, So we have a supplier who sends us
8:48
turkey. The bones are not there, the skin is not there, and
8:50
we bake it and that's all we do to it, and we season it
8:54
and it's delicious and when you put it in your mouth, you can't believe
8:58
that can compared to a turkey that you got somewhere somewhere else, that both
9:03
things are turkey. It's fresh, it's not processed. It is turkey the
9:09
way the turkey came off of that, the gobbler. And you know,
9:13
soon we're gonna we're gonna inundate ourselves for turkey. But I'm talking about using
9:18
it for sandwiches and different things through the course of the day and the week
9:22
and the year. It's not process and it's healthy. And I think you've
9:26
got to be careful too, because I don't know whether you know this or
9:30
not, but people in the world have advertising sometimes lie or not. Yeah,
9:35
now, let me say this. Sometimes it's not about it all about
9:39
falsehood. Sometimes they just don't put all the truth out there about things.
9:43
And when you see, you know, commercials on television or whatever and they
9:46
talk about, well it's one hundred percent fresh, Well, you get into
9:52
nuances. What is the definition of fresh and so it's one hundred percent white
9:56
meat in those nuggets. What else is in it? How much bleach and
10:03
chemicals was in it to make it white? That's what you got to be
10:07
careful for. All right. Millie Snyder's here from the Shape Shop. All
10:09
right, so we got you, We got you taking care of you.
10:13
You'll be down at syck Posa to day. There are several other food trucks
10:16
will be down there as well. Weather's going to be great, they say
10:20
today it's going to be a picture perfect fall day. So if you're looking
10:22
for something different to do and you want to say goodbye to the drive through
10:26
it, you know, give it a try. Go down there. What
10:28
are some of the things that they'll find on the food truck today? It's
10:30
like BOSM, I think we have five or six different wraps. Yesterday I
10:35
was at the post office taking care of finally getting my passport updated. Not
10:41
that I'm going anywhere, but I wanted to get it updated. And this
10:43
woman said, oh, I've been to the shape shop. I said,
10:46
where do you know where it is? She says, I don't mean your
10:50
shop, I mean your food truck. She said, I went there last
10:52
Wednesday. We were there. She said that wrap that I ate was so
10:58
delicious. Turns out more questions that I asked her. She had the chicken
11:03
suziki. She said, every bite was unbelievable. So I'm only repeating what
11:11
Yeah, not a potential but a real, living, breathing customer actually said
11:16
to me, and I have said before, the salmon is of the best
11:18
salmon I've ever had. I've had a lot of salmon in my life.
11:22
Let me tell you your salmon that you have down there is fantastic. And
11:26
once again, it's fresh and sweets too. I want to talk about sweets
11:30
as we close out the segment here because you know, you may think,
11:33
well, if I'm trying to get into a healthier life, so I can't
11:35
have anything to after the meal. You know, some people like that.
11:39
You got to have a little sweet or maybe a little You offer several things
11:43
down there, like and we don't use sugar, which is deadly. It
11:46
hurts our body. It tastes great in your mouth, but sugar is not
11:52
a friend. In fact, with my breakfast this morning, I had one
11:56
of our peanut butter muffins and I have to say, oh, yeah,
12:00
okay, so I have to say it because it's my product. But if
12:03
it wasn't my product, that peanut butter muffin was delicious. I had it
12:09
with cottage cheese and fresh fruit. Sounds good. And that got a question
12:13
here for you from a Texter And this will be the last thing we'll do.
12:16
Text says dear Dave. Question for meliar wild game? Are you a
12:20
fan such as venison, wild turkey, et cetera. Now this is wild
12:24
turkey, not not the kind of the bottle wild turkey, not that kind
12:26
of wild turkey. Not that such a drinker, she souths right now.
12:33
The I'm kidding, she's not the other wild turkey though about I mean venison
12:39
and wild turkey, that kind of stuff. And the beautiful thing is that
12:41
all game are basically vegetarians and like venison. I mean they're Venison is a
12:50
very wonderful preferred meat on Mediterranean as is wild game. It's great. I
12:56
mean when I say wild game, I'm thinking of words, but you're thinking
13:01
of deer. Absolutely, and there's no preservatives in it. I mean,
13:05
that's the best thing about it. It's what you've been preaching since you went
13:07
on this morning. They've been they eat, they eat from the forest.
13:13
Maybe they eat each other. I don't know. I'm not going to go
13:16
there. Yeah, but I guess that thought occurs to me. All right,
13:20
Mellie, give us a location of the physical location of the Shape Shop.
13:24
The physical location is seven six Central Avenue. If you go around the
13:30
corner on Elm Street, you will see the food truck. But today it's
13:33
going to be at Slack Plaza. And again, I am so grateful to
13:37
you, Dave for making that connection for me. Thank you glad to help
13:41
you out. I have more to talk about it, well, have you.

17:57
and so happy birthday day, Millie. She is roaming going around like
18:02
crazy trying to get this food truck down the Slack Plaza today. Glad I
18:04
was able to help her out with that. So so she's she'll be looking
18:08
forward to her birthday tomorrow. I'm not going to mention how old she is,
18:11
but she's she cares herself very well for her age, I will say
18:15
that. And she makes me feel like crap about some of the things they
18:18
ate sometimes. Jerry Farren is here, candidate for state Senate district and Jerry,
18:22
good morning, how are you. I'm doing fine day, Thanks for
18:25
having me this morning. Thank you for being here. So, District eight
18:29
covers parts of Kanawa, Putnam, Rohan, and Clay Is that right?
18:33
And Jackson and Jackson? I left Jackson now can I forget Jackson? So
18:37
it covers all of those county It is a pretty big district with it,
18:41
and it's a diverse district as far as you know, different different types of
18:45
people in all in one district. Sure, And it's probably one of the
18:48
largest in the state. You know, they redistricted in twenty twenty two,
18:53
so this new district is significantly different from what the folks that ran for Senate
18:57
in District eight ran four last time. Okay, and you are running as
19:02
a Republican. Republican, Yes, Republican district Kate. So give us a
19:06
bio on Jerry Ford. Who are you? How'd you get here? Well,
19:10
it's been a long, long trip. I grew up in Beckley.
19:12
I'm a native West Virginia Air Force veteran. I was in the Air Force
19:18
for four years and then worked as a civilian for the Air Force for a
19:22
couple After that came thank you for your service, by the way, Oh,
19:25
I appreciate it, thank you. Came back to West Virginia in nineteen
19:27
eighty nine or actually eighty eight, moved across lanes in eighty nine and been
19:33
here ever since. Spent twelve years working for a law firm here in town
19:37
Bowles, Rice. And then after that's when my service started with the state.
19:42
Spent a couple more years with other companies, but then went to the
19:45
state. I was appointed as the chief Information officer for the West Virginia Department
19:51
of Environmental Protection back in two thousand and two. Stayed there until twenty sixteen,
19:56
at which time I was appointed as the executive director of the West Virginia
19:59
Real Estate Commission. Retired from there in May of this year, and that's
20:04
what got me here today. Now I'm ready to move forward and try to
20:07
do something with the legislature. To why the run for Senate many reasons.
20:12
I've been on the other side of the table from the Senate for a long
20:15
time. You know, working in leadership positions with state agencies, you have
20:21
to deal a lot with the legislature. I just I know how the system
20:25
works. I know how the system should work, and I think I've got
20:29
some things that could be helpful that would help out the agencies and help out
20:33
the legislature. What are some of the things that you would like to work
20:34
on if elected? Well, you know, you always hear the standard ones
20:40
like jobs and things like that, but this state has a horrible drug problem.
20:45
It touches pretty much every family, and we try to take care of
20:51
those folks with treatments and things like that, but then there seems to be
20:53
a disconnect once they're treated and let out of that treatment, we just seem
20:57
to forget about them. It's very difficult for them to even get a driver's
21:03
license or an ID. So I think one of the things that we need
21:06
to do as a as a society is try to take better care of those
21:10
people, help them once they're out of treatment, integrate back into society.
21:14
And I think that's one of the things that the legislature really needs to take
21:17
a hard look at. Talking again with Jerry Forren, who is a candidate
21:21
for State Senate in district date here on five eighty live at the Boys Charleston
21:25
w c HS, Jerry, things are going well in West Virginia right now,
21:29
especially if you are Republican with a super duper majority copyright Dave Allen Alright,
21:33
reserved. But with success can come internal fighting. We certainly are seeing
21:41
that now on the national level, still trying to get a House speaker because
21:44
they're kind of breaking up at a different different groups. They have for some
21:48
time, and we've seen a couple of minor dust ups in the legislature,
21:52
not major yet, but any time that you are the leg you know the
21:56
group in control, you're going to have factions. That happened to the Democrats
21:59
for eighty some odd years. Are are you prepared for any infighting that may
22:06
happen? And now that's the first part. The second part of the question
22:07
is there are some Democrats. There's a lot, but there's some Democrats.
22:11
And in order to get anything done, you are going to have you need
22:15
to have You're not gonna have to anymore, but you're gonna need to have
22:17
a buying from some of the Democrats. So I guess the two part questions.
22:19
Number one, are you prepared for any infighting within the party? Number
22:22
two, what about reaching across the aisle. I don't know if you're ever
22:26
prepared for the in fighting. You know, like I said, I've been
22:30
on the other side of the table and I've seen that happen for the last
22:32
thirty years. I think I'm as prepared as I can be. And as
22:37
far as reaching across the table, I think that's what we're supposed to do.
22:41
You know, I run as Republican, but that doesn't mean that every
22:44
view I have is the so called standard Republican view. I think the best
22:48
thing we could do is work together because on the issues that we're looking at
22:52
in West Virginia. You know, a lot of those issues aren't just Republican
22:56
or Democratic issues. They're issues for everyone. If we don't reach out across
23:00
the table to bring everybody into a consensus, we're never going to get anything
23:03
done. And as far as the Republican Party itself, you see that in
23:07
fighting more and more, which happens when you don't have a counterbalance on the
23:12
other side. They're no longer fighting against the Democrats, they start fighting against
23:17
ourselves, and we just can't do that. We've got to do better.
23:21
Let's talk about some of these major problems in West Virginia, the prison crisis,
23:25
some of these things we're addressed togeteroms you know, just wrapped up here
23:26
in Charleston, and some of the things we're a dressed to their prison crisis,
23:30
d h HR, the foster care system. Now, I know it's
23:33
not a fair it's not fair to ask a man Jerry, who isn't even
23:37
in office to solve the problems yet. But but on the surface, are
23:40
you ready to get in there and start to tackle these things? Well?
23:42
I think I am. You know, I keep up on the politics of
23:47
the day just about every day. Listen to this station. This is a
23:49
great resource for people that need to know what's going on in our state.
23:53
You know, in some of these issues. You know, we have issues
23:56
with the prison system. There's the pay issue. You know, I don't
24:00
know exactly how you get around that because the state only has X amount of
24:03
dollars. But as you mentioned earlier, we're doing very well. So I
24:07
think now is the time that we need to add record surpluses right now,
24:10
the second surpluses, that's right. And then as far as the foster care
24:14
system goes, you know, that's something that I would leave to the people
24:19
that are doing that to give suggestions. That's one area that I know that
24:23
we need to hit. That area also affects my family. But exactly what
24:29
to fix is I can't set right here this morning and tell you that I
24:32
know how to fix that. Five Any Life is brought to part by Mix

24:59
called three zero four where was zero one one one zero one or visit meeks
25:03
dot us. So have you been out doing the campaign thing yet? Really
25:07
just now getting fired up. Got my website up and running about a week
25:11
and a half ago, got the Facebook page up and running about the same
25:15
time. It's amazing how much startup there is to do something like this.
25:21
I don't know that I was really prepared for everything that we had to do
25:22
to get ready, and then there's a whole other step that happens in January
25:26
when you have to do more filings. But it's been busy hoping to get
25:30
out and starting to do some meetings here in the next week or two.
25:33
And I would like to get out to each of those different areas, you
25:36
know, Ron County, in Jackson County, Clay County, they're more remote,
25:40
but I want to get out there and meet those folks and hear what
25:41
they have to say, because I'm sure with being in such a diverse district,
25:45
you know, some of the issues that we might have here in Cross
25:48
Lanes or Charleston aren't going to be the same what they might have in Jackson
25:52
Clay in Rome. And so if I'm sitting on my couch and Jerry Fourren
25:56
knocks on my door and says, I would like to talk to you,
25:59
what would your campaign speech to me? What would you say? Well,
26:02
I think the first thing I would say is are you happy with the way
26:04
things are going now? And if you're not, tell me why? Why?
26:07
What can I do for you when I get in office? And I'm
26:11
not going to be someone that's going to make a bunch of campaign promises because
26:14
honestly, I think going in as a junior senator or a junior delegate,
26:18
whatever you do, uh, you know, there's a there's a curve there
26:21
as far as being able to get things done. But I've got a lot
26:23
of ideas that hopefully I can push. But I'm not going to be the
26:27
guy that's going to sit out here and say, if you elect me,
26:30
this is going to happen. And again, as someone once told me about
26:33
the capital is when you get in the first session, you're just trying to
26:36
find out where the restrooms are. That's it. But but now you've been
26:38
inside the capital a few times. Do you know where the cafeteria in the
26:42
restaurant and whether the paper towels are captain? That's right? All right,
26:45
so Jerry give me like the well first till let me ask you this about
26:49
your campaign. You got a website, you get a Facebook or anything like
26:52
that? What do you got? Website is Foreign for Senate dot com.
26:56
It's f O R R E N of course Senate all one word. And
27:02
then the Facebook page is Jerry Forn for West Virginia Senate or my regular Facebook
27:07
page. You can just find me by typing in my name. All that's
27:11
up and running. Of course, we got the donations page there, which
27:15
is very important for anyone that might like to help the campaign. We'd appreciate
27:18
it. Yeah, I'm going to turn that down, all right. Final
27:21
thirty uninterrupted for me? Why should somebody vote for Jerry Foreign for State Centate.
27:25
Well, I have thirty years of experience in government, state government,
27:30
military, time, select a service. I'm still with that for another couple
27:33
of years. I know how the system works. I've worked on the other
27:37
side of the system. I see how things can be improved, and I'm
27:42
not afraid to make hard decisions. You know, sometimes that has to be
27:45
done in a state. You just you got to make those tough decisions.
27:49
And I'm ready to do this. I'm retired from my career and I'll be
27:53
dedicating all my time to this. All right, So a little fun fact
27:57
about you and then we'll let you go. I promise, because you and
28:02
I were talking in the green room that you came on in this building or
28:07
with these stations to be interviewed by the late John Dickens Sheets at one time.
28:11
Why were you on the air with John Dickons Sheets. This is a
28:12
little insight into your personality outside the world of politics. Tell us about that.
28:17
I was on the show John Dickon Sheets. He invited me to come
28:19
in to talk about a national championship I just won in powerlifting. Powerlifting?
28:25
Yeah you still lifting? I still do Yeah, not lifting as much as
28:29
I did back then, but yeah, at least two three times a week
28:32
every week. Okay, Can we ask you what the record was? It
28:34
was? My actually set numerous records. My best one was a bench press
28:40
of four hundred and fifty two pounds unassisted, just t shirt and shorts.
28:44
Well, I could do that. I just don't want to I want to
28:47
show you up. I wish I could still do it. That was then
28:49
that's right, all right, Jerry Ford. I appreciate you beat her.
28:52
We'll talk again. So thanks a lot, Thank you, Dave, appreciate

problem. That's refreshing to hear someone be honest on an issue rather than just
32:39
make it up. That's a good point because sometimes what happens is is I
32:44
have folks on that are running for office, and I put them in here
32:46
and I say well, and as Jerry said, you know, they always
32:51
say, well, we know what the problems and right now what we're facing
32:52
West Virginia are DHHR, prisons and the opioid And it's easy to sit here
32:58
as a candidate and say, well, I'm going to fight this. Well,
33:00
of course you are. I mean one percent, that's what you're gonna
33:02
do, Okay, But to admit that, hey, I'm just learning my

45:05
Who to second? Is a story posted at wv Metronews dot com and it
45:09
has to do with the Kanah County Circuit Judge Mary Claire Acres, whom I'm
45:15
now referring to pardon me here just for a moment as I say this as
45:17
Judge kickass, she Judge Acres is asking why there hasn't been more consistency from
45:28
the Kanawha County Prosecutor's office in getting more abuse in neglect cases in front of
45:32
her bench. Now, this all happened yesterday morning in Judge Acre's courtroom,
45:40
where she asked Prosecutor Chuck Miller why he is not in his staff, of
45:47
course, in his office is not appointed an attorney to handle these type cases.
45:53
In her courtroom and we're talking about abuse and neglect cases. The judge
46:00
says that she asked mister Miller's office multiple times to file court orders, but
46:07
got back what she called a quote disappointing response from mister Miller. Now she
46:15
is asking who her office needs to be in contact with, and then referred
46:21
to the prosecutor's office's failure to answer as a quote direct order from the court
46:29
in quote FYI. Judges usually don't take kindly to direct orders being ignored,
46:37
especially when it's judge kick ass, Judge Ajakers, I'm sorry. Prosecuting Attorney
46:42
Miller talked about having issues with his staff. And we all know this is
46:45
not just related to Kanawa County. I mean this is going on across the
46:47
country having people to handle these type cases. But Prosecutor Miller talked about having
46:52
issues with the staff and the inability to find people to handle the case load.
46:59
Now, just for say a look at the numbers, there are well
47:00
over eight hundred such cases in the court system in Kanawha County alone, right
47:07
now, that's over eight hundred in Kanawha. That is compared to around two
47:15
hundred and twenty seven I think was the number I saw when Judge Acres took
47:17
the bench back in March. It's twenty twenty one, So in you know,
47:22
two and a half years, we've gone from case loads of about two
47:28
twenty seven to well over eight hundred in Canawha County alone. So a word
47:35
of the whys for the Prosecutor's office. I would not want Judge Acres on
47:40
my bad side just saying there's gonna be a big event. And you heard
47:46
me talk about this a little bit benefiting the Clubs in Hand foundation. Now
47:51
it's called a party. Parash Tee is being presented by the John L.
47:55

48:15
night at Charleston City Council on Monday night. Nice little exchange between Mayor Amy
48:22
Goodwin and Councilwoman Shanted Snodgrass over an investigation involving the Charleston Police Department. Now,
48:31
Councilwoman Snodgrass asked Mayor Goodwin to confirm information that Counciloman Snodgrass had received regarding
48:43
a subpoena issued to interim Charleston Police Chief Scott Dempsey. Of course, mister
48:51
Dempsey called into action following the ty Kunt situation, and the subpoena apparently came
48:59
from the State Auditors Office. Now, the mayor has said in the past
49:07
that as far as for I guess Decoran purposes or whatever, she doesn't want
49:10
to turn the council member remark portion of Charleston City Council into a Q and
49:19
A session. And so basically what happens if you've never seen a Charleston City
49:24
council, but any other cities do this as well. They take care of
49:28
their routine business and so on and so forth, but they also have a
49:31
session where the council persons can you know, just just say something that's on
49:38
their mind. And sometimes it's a reminder so and so the East End yard
49:42
sales going on, or you know, we're having a ribbon cutting, you
49:45
know, it's that kind of thing sometimes. But Damayor said she didn't want
49:46
to turn that into a Q and a session with council where we have council
49:51
just using that opportunity to ask the mayor of various questions. And so that's
49:57
pretty much what happened Monday night. And I'll pair paraphrase here in this question
50:01
that went from council Woman Snodgrass to the mayor. She said, and I'm
50:05
paraphrase and yes, Chief Dempsey did speak with the State Auditor's office, but
50:09
I think you knew that already in reference to council Woman Shannon Snodgrass. Shannon's
50:16
Snodgrass then ask who it was that represented the city at the meeting, and
50:24
I don't think the mayor gave an answer on that. Now Councilwoman's Snodgrass is
50:30
claiming that there has been an investigation by the auditor's office into the city's finances
50:38
for a year or so. Now again no comment on that per se from
50:43
the mayor. Councilwoman's Snodgrass said that she would again ask who represented the city
50:52
in meetings or whatever you want to call it with the State Auditor's office.
50:57
And she suggested, and kind of paraphrasing, that maybe she should send an
51:01
email requesting the information. Now, Shannon Snodgrass has been asking for an audit
51:07
as it pertains to overtime pay within the police department. There's been no comment
51:13
from the State Auditor's Office on this, which there's not going to be.
51:15
I mean, if it's if it is an ongoing investigation or discussions or they're
51:20
looking into things whatever, they're not going to comment on it, as understandable.
51:24
Also, no comment from the interim police Chief Dempsey on this. Not
51:29
a lot from the city Attorney, Kevin Baker either, other than to say
51:31
the city has a good relationship with the State Auditor's Office and that any questions
51:37
should be directed toward them. And I do want to give credit for a
51:40
part of the account that I just gave to Leslie Rubin and the folks over
51:45
WCCHS No relation and Fox eleven Eyewitness News. All right, folks, it's
51:52
been an interesting show today, from trying to get Millie Snyder a tow truck
51:57
so she could head over to slack Plaza for food truck Friday, a Jerry
52:00
Forren candidate for States that appreciate him being here, and also Mackenzie Spencer from
52:05
Festival coming up on the show tomorrow, Crescent Gallagher from Americans for Prosperities Here
52:08
they want to talk about some poling information as it retains to as it pretends
52:13
to the governor's race, including the big lead held by Attorney General Patrick Morrissey.
52:16
So we're to talk about that with Chreston Gallagher tomorrow. Also, were
52:20
going to spend some time talking some school safety in West Virginia, and Brian
52:23
Dayton from the State Chamber of Commerce will stop by as well. Hobbies coming
