| Description | Richie Farmer was charged with 42 ethics violations Monday — a record number of counts that allege he repeatedly put his personal interest above that of the public during his 2003-11 tenure as Kentucky’s agriculture commissioner.
The Executive Branch Ethics Commission returned the charges after a 10-month investigation that stemmed from a scathing report issued April 30, 2012, by State Auditor Adam Edelen on Farmer’s years as agriculture commissioner.
The popular former University of Kentucky basketball player and lieutenant governor candidate was accused in a state audit last year of using Department of Agriculture employees to take him hunting and shopping, mow his yard and chauffeur his dog. |
