Lr. Governor Mongiardo To Sell Farm
KENTUCKY...
Lt. Gov. Daniel Mongiardo has put his central Kentucky farm on the market.
The 54-acre Franklin County farm became a campaign issue in the Democratic U.S. Senate primary, which Mongiardo lost to Attorney General Jack Conway.
Mongiardo bought the farm in July 2009 for more than three-quarters of a million dollars. He gets a $30,000 per year housing allowance and there are no restrictions on how it's spent.
Mongiardo told The Lexington Herald-Leader that, had he won the Senate general election, the farm would have been a convenient place to live when not in Washington.
Conway said last spring Mongiardo should return the allowance because he planned to develop the property and profit from it.
A realty agent said the asking price for the farm has not been determined.
