Fletcher's running buddy might have forged signature. Can stupidity be a

line of defense for this bunch? Anybody think this guy was clueless on this? And putting it in an envelope, stamping it and placing it in the mail makes it a federal offense. Think the feds will investigate?

County Planner Says Signature Forged On Rudolph's Application
Associated Press

MURRAY, Ky. - A western Kentucky county planner said her signature was forged on a document that gave approval to a plan by a Kentucky cabinet secretary to build in a flood plain.

Calloway County Planner Dawn Gaskin said she never signed off on an application by Robbie Rudolph, the Executive Cabinet Secretary and running mate for Gov. Ernie Fletcher, to build a stream-bank stabilization along Clear Creek.

The project, approved by the Natural Resources and Environmental Cabinet's Division of Water in Frankfort, would be near Rudolph's home in Murray.

Rudolph said he mailed the application to the state and was unaware that there was any problem with the document. Rudolph has not been implicated in any wrongdoing.

The Kentucky Bureau of Investigation, an arm of the Attorney General's Office, and the state Department of Natural Resources are investigating the forgery complaint.

Any type of construction work in a flood hazard area requires a permit from the state under federal flood plain insurance regulations. Gaskin, who is also the county's flood plain coordinator, said she didn't know about the application until she received a letter from Art Clay, manager of the division's water resources branch, saying the project was approved.

Gaskin said she asked Clay for a copy of the application, then saw that someone had signed her name on the paperwork.

"Normally, people will come in and get me to sign it, and if I don't sign it and they send it in, the state sends it back to them for my signature," Gaskin said.
