Lexington Herald-Leader | 06/26/2005 | Records show Democrats rejected for jobs:

"Gov. Ernie Fletcher's administration investigated some applicants for merit jobs to determine their political loyalty, then acted against Democrats, according to internal rec-ords filed in court Friday.
.....................

Attorney General Greg Stumbo is investigating reports that the Fletcher administration makes decisions about whom to hire for merit jobs based on politics rather than qualifications, which would be illegal.
.....................

So far, Stumbo has secured misdemeanor indictments against three Fletcher officials, charged with illegally firing Mike Duncan, deputy inspector general at the Transportation Cabinet, because he is a Democrat and backed Chandler."
