KENTUCKY...
Chester Jones, the former chairman of the Perry County Democratic Party, will report to a prison camp next week after a judge denied a motion to allow him to remain free on bond while he appeals a portion of his probation report. Jones, also a former school board member and circuit clerk, was sentenced in May to serve 12 months in prison for his part in a vote buying scheme during the 2008 general election. He was alleged to have submitted a fraudulent campaign finance report to cover up the use of $7,500 in state Democratic Party funds to buy votes in the days prior to the election. Jones was also a candidate for county school board at the time.
