Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In No Strings Attached, former state Senator Russ Weeks exposes the corruption, duplicity and self-serving interests of the politicians who hold West Virginians hostage.Senator Weeks, a Navy veteran who ran for office believing one man could make a difference, exposes the hypocrisy of state government in the Mountain State, and reveals an insider's account of the true story behind: Governor Joe Manchin's handling of the Sago tragedy and the real reason behind the emergency mine legislation that followed the event. The cover-ups and government interference regarding serious allegations at a West Virginia healthcare facility, and the heavy-handed efforts to stop Senator Weeks from pursuing the truth. The charade of the lawmaking process, and how bills are often changed long after being approved by the legislature. The real reason West Virginia ranks last in almost every category. No Strings Attached is a riveting first-hand account of government malfeasance at its most shocking, told by the man who held the same Senate seat once occupied by Robert C. Byrd. And Senator Weeks issues a challenge: "Now that you know what's going on with your elected officials, what are you going to do about it?"
