Governor Fletcher indicted
04:43 PM EDT on Thursday, May 11, 2006
By K. ALISON BROTZGE / WHAS11.com
Governor Ernie Fletcher has been indicted by the Merit Hiring Grand Jury on charges of conspicacy to commit politcal discrimination. This is culmination of months of investigation by the Attorney General, Greg Stumbo and a blanket pardon from Governor Fletcher. It should be noted that the pardon does not include the governor.
Will we continue to bring you more information as it becomes available.

From The Associated Press:
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) -- Gov. Ernie Fletcher was indicted on misdemeanor charges Thursday by a special grand jury investigating state hiring practices.
Fletcher was charged with criminal conspiracy, official misconduct, and violating the prohibition against political discrimination.
The grand jury also handed down 14 sealed indictments.

Yet another rat abuse of power for political reasons. It's happening all over.
That's exactly what he's being accused of. In KY, it's illegal to not hire someone for a government position because of their political affiliation. They've been going after Fletcher's administration for at least a year now.
For the record, everyone I know here in Northern Kentucky thinks it's a bullshit charge.

I spoke with the Governor this evening (around 7) at a function here in my hometown. Highly p****d off is how I would describe him.
Stumbo is gonna get countersued IMO.
BTW.........for all you outsiders...........Stumbo is an old political name (Dem) in our Commonwealth, so he knows how to play the game. His goal has ALWAYS been to hurt and hobble Fletcher, and he has done so in spades.
He'll (Stumbo) will be on the ticket in '08 for Guv.
GREG is the AG who brought the charges...........GRADY is either his Daddy or Uncle, can't remember which........and for y'all out there thinking it, no I don't mean that in an incestuous manner..........LOL
LOL!!!
"Big Boo-tay! Tay! Tay!"
Who the hell cares if he did. People who had been sucking the public teat there for 32 straight years under DUmmycrats had to go out and find a real job. Boo hoo.
And so will Stumbo, when he gets beat like a gong by Fletcher next year; and -- Double Schadenfreude -- Stumbo also has to foresake re-election to his current job in order to run for governor.
That Dumbo ain't the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree...or the unemployment line...
"But it was former GOP gubernatorial candidate Larry Forgy who injected the most inflammatory shots. He had warned Republicans at a breakfast earlier in the day that he wanted to shake what has become "a kinder, gentler Fancy Farm." At the breakfast, he said, "We've got an Attorney General that won't even own up to his own children" -- referring to a custody dispute involving a child Stumbo fathered out of wedlock." -- Lexington Herald-Leader, Aug. 7, 2005
Yeah, well, two staunch right wingers (me and the wife) just moved to KY. They automatically register you to vote when you get a DL. So, we're here to help it swing in the "right" direction.
Awsome
A wonderful vision, to this skyscraper-imprisoned NYer.
This is a badge of honor. Our effective people are always targeted. I hope Fletcher beats the rap, no matter what. If he doesn't, the Rat state employees will continue to rule the state, nullifying the gubernatorial election.
This is how the game is played, and we need to win, period.
Without doubt, Nancy Baloney and Howard Dork have put the msg out, indict any (R) possible so we can publicize it going into the erections. These "people" are pathetic.
90% of the mandarins kept their worthless jobs, that's why Dumbo's pogrom is so wretchedly laughable...
Actually, I'm pretty sure they are distant cousins. They are not always on the same side politically. How is this for irony . . . Grady Stumbo quietly supported Fletcher in 2003 and his daughter is employed in Fletcher's administration. Pretty high ranking job too!
Welcome to the Bluegrass State. Enjoy the show! Don't forget, it is even better with audience participation. : )
The habit we are getting into of criminalizing political activity (this, 'hate crimes', 'campaign finance reform,' voter fraud, etc.) will culminate in civil war.
It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who thinks that a second civil war is on the horizon. And by nice to know I don't mean that I hope that it happens.
