Open Records Law Violated
KENTUCKY...
The Kentucky attorney general's office has ruled that Whitley County Sheriff Lawrence Hodge violated the state's open records law by failing to provide or respond to a March 24th request from The Times-Tribune of Corbin seeking a list of auxiliary sheriff's deputies. The paper says Hodge never responded or returned messages left at his office. Hodge wrote in a response to the attorney general's decision that the newspaper could have gone to the Whitley County clerk's office for the information.
