A Lower Towamensing supervisor appeared in Carbon County Court today in response to action brought by District Attorney Michael S. Greek to keep him from serving his term.

Terry Kuehner told Judge Joseph J. Matika that he will resign from the position.

Greek filed a civil action on Jan. 4 seeking an immediate injunction to keep Kuehner from participating in any township actions.

Kuehner was elected to a six-year term on the board of supervisors in last November’s general election. Greek filed an action in the prothonotary’s office as a “Quo Warranto” complaint alleging that Kuehner cannot hold an elective office due to prior felony criminal convictions, according to the state constitution.

Matika continued the hearing until after Feb. 1, which is the next township supervisors meeting.
