Flood restoration company sues West Virginia's governor-elect
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia Gov.-elect Jim Justice’s businesses are being sued by a flood restoration company for unpaid bills, after cleanup crews restored parts of the Greenbrier following flooding that hit parts of the state in late June.
Attorneys for BMS CAT, a company based in Fort Worth, Texas, filed the complaint in federal court. The lawsuit alleges Justice’s companies have withheld $771,268s owed to the restoration company, The Charleston Gazette-Mail (http://bit.ly/2hvljXg) reported.
BMS says Justice’s companies have paid $113,126 — about 12 percent of what was originally owed.
The CEO of the resort’s insurance company has said the costs would be covered under the Greenbrier’s insurance plan and BMS CAT would be paid in the near future. Elmer Coppoolse, the Greenbrier’s chief operating officer, said Friday the insurer has still not provided that money.
