Back in the 50's my dad had a small construction business and put in a set of concrete steps for a local politician that stalled payment.
My dad called him and said that he was sending his crew out to his house to collect the money or we would take 20 pound sledge hammers to the steps and leave.
He paid but we never did another job for that lowlife.
The prick was a demonRAT {surprise, surprise, surprise}.
Sounds like current WV governor & now running for the Senate Jim Justice! He and his businesses were notorious for not paying the bills of subcontractors and not paying ( if they didn’t feel like it!) county & state taxes.
