"Candidate seeks info on justice; Answers wanted on Maynard's link to Massey CEO": The Charleston (W. Va.) Gazette today contains an article that begins, "Bob Bastress, running for one of two open seats on the state Supreme Court in May's Democratic primary, wants Chief Justice Elliott 'Spike' Maynard to reveal more information about his relationship with Don Blankenship, chief executive officer of Massey Energy.

And The West Virginia Record provides a news update headlined "Supreme Court says it can't investigate Maynard-Blankenship friendship."
