BANKRUPTCY TRUSTEE REVIEWING CANDIDATE'S FAMILY LAND TRANSFER

WASHINGTON - A federal bankruptcy trustee is scrutinizing whether an eastern Ohio congressional candidate gave property to her family last year to keep it away from her creditors.

Court files show state Sen. Joy Padgett (R) transferred her one-third share of her family farm last year, less than a month before she and her husband sought bankruptcy protection for their failing office supply company. She also lists different dates for the transfer on different official forms.

"I am looking into it within the office," John Kennedy, lawyer for U.S. Bankruptcy Trustee Frank Pees, told The Associated Press on Thursday. "We would be investigating any transfer that might have an impact on a debtor's ability to pay creditors."


I guess she didn't like the new bankruptcy bill her party passed.
