Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin on Friday appointed an energy lobbyist to the state school board to fill a vacancy created when Wade Linger resigned last month.
In a press release, Tomblin announced the appointment of Scott Rotruck, who, according to state Ethics Commission filings, has lobbied natural gas, oil and transportation issues for companies like Chesapeake Energy and Geostellar Inc., a company that operates a solar panel online marketplace.
Rotruck currently is director of energy and transportation services for the Spilman, Thomas and Battle law firm, which he also has lobbied for in recent years. He is part of the firm’s government relations, energy and shale gas practice groups.
Rotruck’s appointment to the school board is effective immediately.
In addition to his role in the energy sector, Rotruck has worked for railroads. He has 30 years of experience with companies like Chesapeake Energy, Anker Energy, CONSOL Energy, CSX Corporation and Norfolk Southern Corporation.
