KY Republican Governor has been INDICTED!!!!

Grand Jury Indicts Kentucky Governor


By JOE BIESK
Associated Press Writer

FRANKFORT, Ky. - A grand jury indicted Gov. Ernie Fletcher on misdemeanor charges Thursday, accusing him of illegally rewarding political supporters with state jobs since taking office two years ago.

Fletcher was charged with conspiracy, official misconduct and violating a prohibition against political discrimination. Spokesman Troy Body said the Republican governor would release a statement later Thursday.

For nearly a year, the special grand jury has been investigating whether the Fletcher administration broke state law by basing personnel decisions on political considerations.

Thirteen other current and former administration officials and associates were previously indicted on misdemeanor counts, and the grand jury handed up another 14 sealed indictments Thursday. Last summer, Fletcher pardoned everyone in his administration other than himself who could be charged in the case, although it remains unclear whether a blanket pardon issued before charges are filed is valid.
