{Frankfort, Kentucky}...The State Personnel Board has concluded that House Floor Leader Rocky Adkins did nothing improper in writing a letter recommending Charles Pennington of Sandy Hook, a prison worker at the Little Sandy Correctional Complex, for a job promotion. Pennington will lose the promotion because the board found that the Department of Corrections didn't follow appropriate policies in appointing him to the position of operations manager. Pennington can reapply, as can others, including Hershel Adkins, who filed a complaint with the Personnel Board alleging Rocky Adkins, no relation, had unduly influenced the selection process by writing a letter of recommendation for Pennington.
