KY: GOP Seeks Resignation of Dem Governor’s Chief of Staff

Ok.  Based on the response from the Governor’s office on this one, I think they call the allegations “a partisan shouting match”, would anyone care to guess how Democrat A.G. Jack Conway will respond?  Hmm…he might be running for the U.S. Senate…will that skew his response?  From Kentucky.com:

Steve Robertson, the GOP chairman, also called for Attorney General Jack Conway to investigate Edelen’s activities in the governor’s office.

Robertson cited Herald-Leader stories showing that Edelen friend and business partner Ralph Coldiron complained to Edelen in e-mails last fall that he was hurting financially. Later, Beshear gave Coldiron a job in the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security.

Beshear also raised the pay for that job from $80,000 to $100,000, although state law said that only the Commercial Mobile Radio Service Board could set Coldiron’s pay, something that a Beshear spokesman said the governor did not know.
