#JimJustice, who also owns other businesses, was once considered to be West Virginia’s wealthiest resident. But more than $1bn of collective debt has resulted in his having a projected net worth of “less than zero” 🙄

Despite his financial troubles, Jim Justice served as WV’s governor for 8 years beginning in 2017. He then won election to the US Senate, taking over a seat vacated by the retirement of his fellow #WestVirginia #coal tycoon (and fake democrat) #JoeManchin

While doing research for the @wikipedia article on #CharlesRogers, I learned that in 2023, #JimJustice, then-Governor of #WestVirginia, broke ground on a nursing facility named in Rogers' honor. Justice is now a senator, and recently introduced a bill to create a monument to #MedalOfHonor recipients. I wonder if he knows or cares about the government's erasure of Rogers' web page.

Idk who needs to hear this, but please don’t let Sen. #JimJustice continue using his pet, #BabyDog, to distract from his terrible actions. 😒 He’s been great at that & it was very unhelpful for local businesses to humanize him with his dog, despite the damage he caused.
If only he fought for WVians like he fought that mask! 🥴

Jim Justice Tied West Virginia Coal to Global Financial Capital

While running his coal company Bluestone, Governor Jim Justice ushered the mines of West Virginia deep into the grasp of global financial capital — at the expense of West Virginians. Why should Swiss bankers get paid before West Virginia teachers?

Jim Justice, the governor of West Virginia and GOP Senate candidate whose personal net worth is upwards of half a billion dollars, co-owns the Greenbrier hotel and resort with other members of his family.

And they haven’t made the employers’ contribution to the employees’ health fund in four months, leaving about 400 Greenbrier workers on the brink of losing their insurance.

We really live in a world of cartoon villains. This guy should just rename his dog Muttley and get it over with.

Gov. Jim Justice tries to halt foreclosure of his West Virginia hotel as he runs for US Senate

U.S. Senate candidate West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice is in a mad-dash legal fight to keep a historic hotel at his luxury resort before it’s auctioned off next week due to unpaid debts. An official with the Workers United Mid-Atlantic Regional Joint Board confirmed Tuesday that resort employees received a letter from an Amalgamated National Health Fund attorney saying they will lose coverage Aug. 27 unless the Justice family pays $2.4 million in delinquent contributions. The coverage would end the day the hotel is set to go to auction, which Justice family attorneys have asked a judge to stop. They argue in part the auction would harm the economy and threaten hundreds of jobs.
