Possible DOGE visit to Parkersburg (WV) has people talking [View all]

PARKERSBURG, W.Va. — Mayor Tom Joyce says he’s heard nothing about any intentions the Elon Musk group DOGE may have to change the operations at the Bureau of Fiscal Service in downtown Parkersburg.

Reports have indicated that representatives of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will visit this week. Musk and DOGE after been making cuts in federal spending under the authority of President Donald Trump.

Joyce said he spoke with U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito’s office Monday about the possible visit.

“The communication was that it’s not uncommon for folks to come in and review the system that they use for remuneration for these federal public dollars,” Joyce told MetroNews, adding he’s heard nothing about anyone wanting to close the operation.
