Kentucky Association Of Counties Expenses Questioned
Expenses for the Kentucky Association of Counties, a non-profit group which lobbies for counties and provides them with insurance and financing services, is now being questioned. Under the Kentucky Open Records Act, it was discovered the association sent six people to Washington, D.C. in March 2008, a $31,700 trip, which included two dinners totaling $4,277 and a $10,000 cancellation fee for hotel rooms not used. Records show that, over the last two years, the association's top five executives racked up nearly $600,000 in travel, entertainment and other expenses, more than half of it charged on the credit card of Executive Director Bob Arnold. The review of records shows thousands were spent to purchase sports tickets and gifts, while spending and salaries increased.
