Category 4: Politician Most Likely To Be Investigated Or Indicted In The Next 12 Months

Commenters overwhelmingly nominated Louisville mayor and Beshear running mate Jerry Abramson. But he?s already been at the center of Crit Luallen?s scathing audit. Thankfully, email nominations were consistently for winner TODD HOLLENBACH. Primarily because everyone in Frankfort already knows two different branches of law enforcement, ethics and everyone under the sun is poking around on Toddy. The fact that he illegally fired Mary John Celletti and illegally hired a double-dipper in her place doesn?t help.

By Jack Brammer - jbrammer@herald-leader.com FRANKFORT ? After a lengthy court hearing Monday in which six state workers testified about how the public would suffer under a plan to furlough state workers, a judge delayed ruling on a motion to block the unpaid leave. Franklin Circuit Court Judge Phillip Shepherd said he wanted more information on the state?s financial condition to see if the state could get by without the six days of furloughs that Gov. Steve Beshear announced in July as a cost-saving measure. John Frith Stewart, a Crestwood attorney representing the six state workers and their labor union, said in an amended complaint filed Monday that millions of dollars in state projects could be suspended and additional federal dollars to the state could be used to prevent the furloughs. Shepherd told Dan Egbers, an attorney for the state Finance and Administration Cabinet, that the state could have until next Monday to provide the court more information about the state?s finances.
