Former Perry County Official To Plead Guilty
KENTUCKY....
The attorney for former Perry County official Chester Jones, a circuit clerk and former state representative, has filed a motion in federal court seeking a hearing for Jones to enter a guilty plea. Last year Jones was indicted in a vote-fraud scheme in which he and former Perry County Judge-Executive Sherman Neace are accused of taking $7,500 from the state Democratic Party meant for use in efforts to increase voter turnout in November 2008. Instead, they're accused of using the money to buy votes for themselves.
