whose Buffalo manufacturingplant is one of the crown jewelsof Japanese investment in WestVirginia.
"I'm very proud of the busi-ness relationship our state hasbuilt with Japan over the years,"said Tomblin. "We are commit-ted to upholding the standards ofexcellence they have come to ex-pect from both our governmentand our workforce. We are build-ing on the reputation we have es-tablished to bring even morejobs to the Mountain State. I ex-pect to announce new invest-ments and jobs shortly after Ireturn."
In undertaking his first Japantrade mission, Tomblin joins along list of West Virginia gover-nors who have traveled to the Pa-cific Rim economic powerhouseto promote West Virginia.
Japanese companies play an
important part in our state'sstrong economy, with over 20Japanese companies doing busi-ness here.
Those companies employ over2,400 West Virginians and haveinvested over $2.1 billion in oureconomy. Last year, the state's
exports to Japan totaled morethan $420 million.
Company Highlights• Nisshin Steel, a leading steel-
maker and the owner of Wheel-ing-Nisshin, Inc., was the firstJapanese company to invest inWest Virginia. Nisshin opened itssteel coating plant in Follansbee,Brooke County in 1988. Its prod-ucts are used by automobilemanufacturers, building andconstruction companies, appli-ance makers, and in many otherindustries.
• Nippon Thermostat hasbeen doing business in West Vir-ginia for ten years. Its 32,000 sq.ft. facility in the Putnam BusinessPark in Fraziers Bottom producesthermostats for the automotiveindustry.
• Hino Motors, a major world-wide truck manufacturer, estab-lished its assembly plant in
Williamstown, West Virginia in2007. The Wood County planproduces Class 6 and 7 medium-duty trucks.

turning Board President CraigSpicer said the board had com-pleted its annual evaluation ofHatfield and then it approved theevaluation by a unanimous vote.
“We are very pleased with theprogress and accomplishmentsand we give a full vote of confi-dence. If you're not the best,”
Spicer told Hatfield, “we'd like tosee who is.”
The board also approved thepurchase of nine new schoolbuses for $866,000 as BoardMember Jack Coyner reminiscedabout school bus prices of old.
“I just think it's interesting,”he said, “that in 1976, a new
school bus cost $17,000, nowlooks like it's almost $100,000.”
Hatfield said that teachersand students have been workinghard to prepare for the transitioninto newly-constructed schoolbuildings.
“Teachers and students havebeen working hand-in-hand to
move into the new Buffalo Highfacility next year and they'reready to move out of Poca Ele-mentary and into the middleschool (where the elementarywill be housed until the Poca ele-mentary renovations are com-pleted). Confidence Elementaryis also packed up and ready to
go,” he said.In other business, the board

Putnam resident named state’s Chief Technology Officer
CHARLESTON - West VirginiaAttorney General Darrell Mc-Graw announced Wednesdaythat his office has reached set-tlements with five out-of-statedebt collection agencies, net-ting more than $700,000 forstate consumers.
The five companies are Fron-tier Financial Group of Hender-son, Nev.; United Debt Holdingof Castle Rock, Colo.; Skutr Fi-nancial of Las Vegas; USCBCorp. of Archibald, Pa.; andMauconduit and Luna ofHapeville, Ga.
Under the agreements, thecompanies are required to pay
a total of $772,286 in refundsand cancelled debts to settlecharges that they engaged inunlawful debt collection inWest Virginia.
"State laws and regulationsgoverning collection agenciesare intended to protect bothconsumers and legitimatecreditors from fraud andabuse," McGraw said in a state-ment Wednesday.
"The Tax Department hasmade it clear that debt buyerswho buy charged-off debts forcollection must comply withcollection agency laws."
The attorney general beganinvestigating the companiesafter receiving complaints thatfour of them were not licensed
in the state and that all fivewere collecting illegal Internetpayday loans.
Oak Hill resident James Shufffiled a complaint against Fron-tier Financial.
Shuff said he knew there wasa problem when he received aletter from the company de-manding payment of a $615debt to Money and More, an In-ternet payday lender based inCalifornia.
Because of information pre-viously provided by the attor-ney general's ConsumerProtection Division, Shuff knewthe debt had been canceledand Money and More had beenbanned from doing business inWest Virginia.
McGraw's investigationwould later confirm that Fron-tier Financial was both unli-censed and attempting tocollect Money and More's pay-day debts.
Further investigation dis-closed that Frontier Financialwas primarily collecting debtsfor two unlicensed debt buyersalso named in the settlements,United Debt Holding and SkutrFinancial.
Those companies were at-tempting to collect on Internetpayday loans, illegal in WestVirginia, and charged-off creditcard debts, according to the At-torney General's Office.
Soon after, McGraw beganinvestigating USCB and Mau-
conduit and Luna.Although licensed to collect
debts in West Virginia, USCBwas found to be collectingcharged-off Internet paydayloans that it had purchasedfrom various lenders.
Mauconduit and Luna,meanwhile, was not licensed tocollect debt in the state, Mc-Graw's office said.
"Internet payday loans areharmful to consumers and havenever been legal in West Vir-ginia," the attorney generalsaid.
"My office will continue tointervene whenever anyagency, licensed or otherwise,is collecting unlawful debtshere."
