Hannah Loses On Bid In Appeal For Ouster Suit Against One Mingo County Commissioner.
The West Virginia State Supreme Court ruled late last week not to hear an appeal on the ouster suit filed against Commissioner Greg Smith.
Sheriff Lonnie Hannah and County Commissioner David L. Baisden filed the suit stating that Smith failed to protect the tax dollars of Mingo County citizens.
A special three judge panel ruled late last year that Smith did nothing wrong.
The county must reimburse Smith his legal fees which are in excess of $ 60,000.
