BECKLEY, W.Va.
(AP) - The West Virginia Ethics
Commission has postponed a hearing on ethics allegations against Beckley Mayor
Emmett Pugh.
The hearing was set for Jan. 28 in Beckley.
Pugh tells The Register-Herald (http://bit.ly/Xz6mSw ) that the
commission postponed the hearing because it has to find a replacement for
deputy counsel Martin J. Wright.
Earlier this month, Wright left the commission to take a job
in the state Attorney General's Office.
Pugh says a new hearing date hasn't been set.
The commission filed civil charges last March alleging Pugh
received more than $12,000 worth of ownership interests in companies in
exchange for proving city contracts and free use of city resources.
