Fourth Assigned Bid-Rigging Judge Surprised By Ties To The Case
U.S. District Judge Karl Forester, the fourth judge to be assigned to the bid-rigging case involving road contractor Leonard Lawson, says he's surprised by the link between his family and Lawson's industry group. Forester's son-in-law, Sean Cutter, is a Frankfort lobbyist for the Kentucky Association of Highway Contractors who was paid by the group as recently as this year's legislative session. Lawson has long been active in the KAHC, and his son, Steve Lawson, an executive in his companies, has, in recent years, served as a KAHC officer and sat on the board of directors.
