Attorney general investigating KLC

Posted by John Humphress on Apr 14, 2010

The state attorney general has confirmed his office is investigating the Kentucky League of Cities for possible illegal activity.

“My official policy is not to comment on active investigations; that is an active investigation,” Jack Conway said Tuesday. “There is some activity that is potentially criminal.”

Conway, who was responding to questions during an interview with the Herald-Leader editorial board, would not say what activity might be illegal. In a report in December, State Auditor Crit Luallen detailed a host of problems at the League, including high expenses, questionable bonus practices and conflicts of interest. She forwarded the audit to Conway’s office.
