The Town of Grantsville has habitually made questionable decisions, behaved unprofessionally, refused to provide minutes and ignored the Sunshine Law with regard to notifications of Council meetings.
The release of an agenda for a Tuesday, February 3, 2026 meeting (which was posted on the door of the City building) has brought further questions as to how the Town conducts business and what it will take to get the State of West Virginia to investigate what’s happening in our City.
At a January meeting, two Town council members walked out after feeling pressured to appoint Courtney Alexander as Recorder. On the new meeting agenda, Alexander is listed as needing approved for check signing, and an executive session is listed without the reasoning behind it. The agenda items were not approved by council members.
Any question of the Town Staff regarding a $12K check that was allegedly attempted to be cashed in the State of Virginia last month, leads to more questions. The Town has reported the money was returned, but the circumstances and evidence as to how it was obtained, or cashed are highly questionable.
Citizens with concerns should contact ethics@wv.gov
