Gov. Steve Henry appears to be the target of a federal investigation. The U.S. attorney's office in Louisville has subpoenaed hundreds of pages of documents from Henry's office. The documents are relative to Henry's schedule, travel records and reimbursement vouchers and go back all the way to when he was first elected lieutenant governor in 1995. Information on Henry's security detail also is sought.
Henry is no stranger to controversy.
Also called into question have been whether he used government money to help pay for wedding expenses last year to former Miss America Heather Renee French, and the role and salary of an executive secretary in his office. Two of Henry's aides Monday refused to answer questions from NewsChannel 32 reporter Chris Gilligan, who obtained the federal subpoenas. But Gov. Paul Patton, who was in Louisville Monday, did say that an investigation wouldn't be inappropriate if there appears to be cause for one. All rights reserved.
