Published by West Virginia Public Broadcasting, the article discusses the plea deals accepted by ousted Jefferson County Commissioners Tricia Jackson and Jennifer Krouse, who faced 42 misdemeanor charges after they refused to attend commission meetings over a vacant seat dispute. Their actions led to operational paralysis of the commission, resulting in their removal from office. Both commissioners pleaded 'no contest' to one charge of failure to perform official duties, with the remaining charges dismissed, and were fined $50 each.
