Possible NPOV problem
It seems slanted to me.

NPOV Problem, Little Value

It seems very slanted, particularly the constant use of "machine" politics. Was there anything worthwhile accomplished during this gubernatorial administration? I wouldn't know it from this

 * Barron was involved in a number of illegal acts and then engaged in jury tampering trying to get himself acquitted. He was convicted as a felon and sent to federal prison.  Perhaps the "machine" aspect should be de-emphasized (or at least better cited), but the corruption angle doesn't seem inordinately slanted relative to his involvement.

Not enough about why he was on trial in the first place! His actions led to WV having some of the most well-enforced Pay-to-Play laws in the country. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.91.74.25 (talk) 16:16, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
