The West Virginia Ethics Commission has postponed a hearing on ethics allegations against Beckley Mayor Emmett Pugh.

The hearing was set for January 28th in Beckley.  A new hearing date has yet to be scheduled.  The commission filed civil charges in March alleging Pugh received more than $12,000 worth of ownership interests in companies in exchange for providing city contracts and free use of city resources.  Pugh denies the allegations.
