 Life is good all this month at Appalachian Wireless. Get the LG G5 for just one penny with sign-up or renewal of a two-year service agreement. That's almost $100 off the regular price. Better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless. The civil trial for former Pike County road foreman Willard Kahn got underway today in U.S. District Court in Pikeville right behind me. During today's opening arguments, Kahn's attorney argued that the Pike County fiscal court violated the administrative code by failing to supply Kahn with several pieces of crucial information, chief among those, why he was being investigated, why he was being disciplined, and why he was ultimately terminated. This case dates back to 2015 when Kahn was the subject of a couple of investigations, one for allegedly stealing County gravel and another for accusations of wrongdoing made by the wives of two of Kahn's subordinates. Kahn's attorney argues that when he was ultimately fired, Kahn was never given an explanation or the chance to defend himself. In his opening statement, the fiscal court's attorney said that Kahn had the opportunity to follow the termination process where he would have been able to defend himself, but he failed to do so. And we'll have more on this story later in the week as the trial progresses. Reporting from downtown Pikeville for EKB News, I'm Chris Anderson.
