Taxpayer's Action Group of Madison County v. Madison County Board of Elections, Ky.App., 652 S.W.2d 666, 668 (1983). See also, Cumberland Valley Rural Electric Cooperative v. Public Service Commission, Ky., 433 S.W.2d 103, 105 (1968). Taxpayer's, supra, did no more than extend to administrative cases the rule that a trial court (in this case the administrative body acting as a trial court) should first be given the opportunity to rule on questions or asserted errors of the court or agency before they are available for appellate review.
Failure to raise an issue before an administrative board precludes a litigant from asserting that issue in an action for judicial review of the agency's action. Cumberland Valley Rural Electric Coop. Corp. v. Public Service Comm., Ky., 433 S.W.2d 103 (1968). Appellants' failure to raise their constitutional claim in the trial court bars them from asserting a due process claim on this appeal. It is a firmly established appellate principle that a trial court must first be given the opportunity to rule on a question for which review is sought.
