Pork Chop goes to the Derby
Washington Monthly, March, 2005 by Charles Peters
I was recently reminded that some color left my life when I moved to Washington from my native West Virginia. The state's former assistant school superintendent, G.A. McClung, has just been indicted, according to the Charleston Gazette, for allegedly awarding two and a half million dollars in contracts to Phillip "Pork Chop" Booth.
It seemed that Booth had not only forgiven loans to McClung, but had treated him to tickets to the Kentucky Derby and a Bahamas cruise for two. Pork Chop made a profit of over $400,000. Unfortunately however, he now faces the possibility of 15 years as a guest of the state penitentiary.
