Mason To Join Justice Department in July

Roanoke City Councilwoman Gwen Mason, who recently resigned as director of the Clean Valley Council after only a few months on the job, will be the community outreach coordinator for the U.S. Department of Justice in Roanoke.

There had been a question about what she would do in what she would only describe as "a job with the federal government," while a background check was being performed. A source with first-hand knowledge of the situation confirmed the appointment today, saying Mason would start July 5.
