Comer Seeks Dismissal Of Complaint

{Kentucky}...Republican agriculture commissioner candidate James Comer will ask the Legislative Branch Ethics Commission to dismiss a complaint filed by Lexington attorney Franklin Paisley alleging that Comer had used a state employee to work on his campaign at taxpayer expense. Paisley alleged Legislative Research Commission staffer Michael Goins had posted Comer campaign material online during working hours. House Republican Leader Jeff Hoover said he reviewed the matter and found no wrongdoing. Comer, who faces Democrat Robert Farmer in the November 8th election, said in a written response to be filed Monday that the complaint was political gamesmanship.
