audits, and reports to the Calhoun County Commission in behalf of the
public, Mt. Zion PSD issues critically need resolved.
“The Calhoun County Commission therefore requests the
West Virginia Public Service Commission to formally investigate the Mt.
Zion Public Service District, covering financial and management issues,
from how money was handled, review audits, record keeping,
minutes/decisions made, the hiring of engineers and bidding processes.”
The motion was approved.

said that CRI has completed 83 jobs of weatherization since April.
