Charges Won't Be Filed In Bid-Rigging Case
KENTUCKY....
Assistant U.S. Attorney Ken Taylor has announced charges of conspiracy to violate federal laws and obstruction of justice against Brian Billings will not be pursued. In addition, the prosecution won't file charges against former state highway engineer Jim Rummage. Taylor says it's the only fair and equitable choice in light of last week's acquittal of road contractor Leonard Lawson and former Transportation Secretary Bill Nighbert.
