| Description | Former Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner Richie Farmer applied for unemployment benefits after his term of office ended Jan. 1, The Courier-Journal has learned.
The Courier-Journal submitted a request under the Kentucky Open Records Act to the Department of Agriculture seeking Farmer’s application for unemployment benefits, which would have paid him $415 a week if his claim was approved.
In its response, the department acknowledged that it had such records but could not make them public.
“We are unable to release these records, as Kentucky law mandates they remain confidential,” said Holly VonLuehrte, the department’s general counsel, in the department’s response. |
