FRANKFORT, Ky. -- Gov. Ernie Fletcher said he will complete his first term and seek a second one despite an indictment on misdemeanor charges that accuse him of illegally rewarding political supporters with state jobs.

The embattled GOP governor was charged Thursday with conspiracy, official misconduct and violating a prohibition against political discrimination. A conviction could lead to jail time and his removal from office, according to the attorney general's office.

On Friday, Fletcher urged cabinet secretaries not to let his legal troubles distract them from their work.

"We cannot allow these sorts of actions to harm our efforts to move the state forward," he said.

Then it logically follows that you should regard Jim Trafficant as a 'freedom-fighter' as well.
