It appears that Harry Berry Hardin County Judge Executive, Treasurer of the Anne Northup campaign for Governor has some splaining to do.
Ok Harry tell us what you said about your Democratic opponent Rik Hawkins and campaign finance violations. Come on Harry fess up, because if you don't I'm going to remind you during the election.

According to a preliminary audit by the registry's staff, the Northup campaign accepted two corporate contributions totaling $500. One $250 contribution was returned on the same day the campaign had deposited it in its account. The other $250 contribution was returned after a state auditor determined it was a corporate contribution in May 2008.

The audit also found the campaign of Northup and state Rep. Jeff Hoover, her running mate, accepted eight contributions from individuals exceeding the statutory $1,000 limit.

Another allegation is that the Northup campaign accepted a $1,000 contribution from the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians political action committee and a $1,000 contribution from the Kentucky Society of Interventional Pain Physicians Inc. PAC.

The registry staff found the two groups -- which share a bank and an address and whose checks were signed by the same person -- to be the same organization. The campaign returned the contribution in May 2007 to the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians.
The audit also found the campaign didn't have complete biographical information for 47 contributors.

It also found the campaign accepted illegal contributions from people associated with road contractor Elmo Greer & Sons. A company employee pleaded guilty to violating state campaign finance laws by making illegal contributions through others to the campaigns of Northup, Henry and former Gov. Ernie Fletcher. The company paid a fine.

According to Pol Watchers Kayi Lewis, wife of U.S. Rep. Ron Lewis, R-Cecilia, is a co-chair for Gov. Ernie Fletcher’s re-election campaign in the 2nd Congressional District, along with Bowling Green attorney J. Marshall Hughes, a former unpaid adviser to Fletcher who was charged with criminal conspiracy by a special grand jury investigating personnel actions in the Fletcher administration but later was pardoned by the governor Fletcher.
Fletcher also announced three regional vice-chairs for the district and support from 14 Republican county chairs in the district. One of the Vice Chairs is Jeff Farmer of Elizabethtown.
Harry Berry, Republican Hardin County Judge Executive is Anne Northup’s campaign treasurer. Harry Berry has also given $1000 to the Northup campaign.   
Looking at the poll numbers, it appears Harry Berry has backed the wrong primary candidate, but will keep Senator Mitch McConnell happy.
Kayi Lewis along with J. Marshall Hughes, who was charged with criminal conspiracy by a special grand jury may be backing the winning Primary candidate, but Kayi Lewis may be causing her husband Congressman Ron Lewis a huge problem with Mitch McConnell.
Ain’t it sweet to watch the Hardin County Republicans maneuver for power?
Reckon Ernie Fletcher is paying Kayi Lewis as much as her Congressman husband Ron Lewis did?
Could it be that Kayi Lewis is supporting Ernie Fletcher, just in case she and or her husband Congressman Ron Lewis will need a pardon?

“Promises Made Promises Kept”

“Promises made promises kept” was Hardin County Judge Executive Harry Berry’s campaign slogan. Hardin County voters have heard this before from politicians. Elizabeth Tori signed a pledge to not raise taxes and she broke her pledge. Ron Lewis signed term limit pledge and he broke his pledge. Harry Berry now has the opportunity to break ranks with Republican promise and pledge breakers like Elizabeth Tori and Ron Lewis and govern Hardin County for the next four years like he promised. Will Harry Berry keep his promise to Hardin County voters or will he be just another Republican politician that fails to keep his promises? We’ll see.
