FENDLEY ALLEGATIONS DO NOT DISCLOSE EVERYTHING

John Fendley stated in an ad that he placed in a newspaper that his opponent, Galen Clark, was the only candidate to be sued in recent years in Oldham Circuit Court. He claims that Clark had been sued twice for failing to pay his Homeowner Association dues.

There are two things wrong with this statement. First, Clark is not the only candidate to be sued. Kevin Eldridge, a candidate for magistrate in the sixth district, is currently a defendant in Oldham Circuit Court. It has been alleged that he failed to provide records when requested to do so under the Open Records Act. Perhaps Fendley was referring only to candidates for the office of County Attorney. However, he should have clarified that.

Additionally, Fendley should have clarified that the lawsuits against Clark were dropped. As a matter of fact the Homeowners’ Association that brought the charges issued an apology for having brought the charges. I have posted a copy of that apology. It can be viewed by clicking here. Does Mr. Fendley prosecute his cases without getting all of the facts or does he get the facts and just not disclose them?
