That challenge could have had another meaning, serving as a reminder about the banks, creditors, federal agencies and others who have hounded Justice for years to pay his debts, including loan defaults, late payments, court fines. He's faced threats of foreclosure. Early in his administration, the governor was sued for not living in the governor's mansion in Charleston as required by law, and when he was there, his list of accomplishments wasn't particularly long or noteworthy.

While it's not certain how far back Justice's family debts go, they predate his time as governor and deprive him the right to call himself a billionaire. The challenges kept piling up, hitting a peak this year. Earlier this month Justice's family said it resolved debts to avoid the foreclosure on the Greenbrier hotel, which has hosted presidents and royalty at the resort he bought out of bankruptcy in 2009. A union official at the Greenbrier said in August that Justice's familyElliott, looking to spread the word, embarked on a summer tour of all 55 counties.
