{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Three property valuation administrators have been ordered to pay fines for hiring family members to work in their offices. The Executive Branch Ethics Commission ordered Leslie County PVA James Wooten and Taylor County PVA Julie Shields to pay $4,000 each. Laurel County PVA Joyce Parker must pay $2,000. The charges against the PVAs had initially been dismissed in 2009 by a trial court judge who ruled PVAs aren't subject to the ethics panel. That ruling was overturned by the Court of Appeals.
