Whitley County Sheriff Hodge Should Resign

February 26th, 2010 · 3 Comments

Yesterday I highlighted two audits of Whitley County Sheriff Lawrence Hodge.

Tens of thousands of dollars just missing, shoddy records and massive corruption.

And last night the Herald-Leader’s Bill Estep shared additional details.

That’s on top of an ongoing federal investigation.

So what happens next?

Hodge has abused his authority and embarrassed Southeastern Kentucky for long enough. This level of corruption cannot be tolerated in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

We call on Sheriff Hodge to resign immediately.

Telephone him at (606) 549-6006 ext 6007 if you think it’s time for him to leave office. You may also email him at wcso@2geton.net.

P.S. Here’s this story from WKYT.

    Thanks for the phone number, Jake. I just bought Whitley County for 11,000 dollars, Cumberland Falls not included. Lawrence (he insisted I call him Larry) said he’d let that go for an extra 5 grand, but I have to decide quick because a lot of other folks are interested.

    Sheriff Hodge, Gov. Rod Blagojevich has a consulting company that could handle you little problem.
