FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Gov. Steve Beshear has appointed a
campaign donor convicted in 1990 of misdemeanor attempted jury tampering to two state boards including one for Kentucky crime victims.
Beshear appointed James F. Sullivan to the Crime Victims Compensation Board and the Board of Claims. The appointments took
effect on July 1. He also sits on the Kentucky Lottery Board.
Beshear spokesman Dick Brown says the governor was not aware of Sullivan's misdemeanor conviction. Sullivan and his wife each
donated $2,000 to Beshear's gubernatorial campaign.
Members of the Crime Victims Compensation Board are paid $1,500
a month.

Be careful, Stevie! You are looking guilty of what you accused Fletcher of! Oh, horror of horrows, is there hypocrisy here?

The reason why things like this keep happening, perhaps, is that whatever the power that people have, they use forums like this to make un-cogent and inconcise high-school-level insults at whoever is in power. Like the first guy said, you can buy your way INTO GOVERNMENT. I did not like Fletcher nor do I like this guy -- they're both dishonest and make whatever claims to being Christian's look a mockery to Christianity. The pushing of gambling vice, financial dishonesty, and flagrant abuse of tax funds is no stranger to either the democrats or republicans. If you have yet to notice, the rich people are running things...they just split apart for melodramatic acting that riles real people like you all and myself. If you really want to starve the government, go live like the mennonites. Simplify your life and simply stop participating in this sham form of society.
