Funny money at Fayette jail no laughing matter

Sources with information about the City of Lexington's internal auditing say that a damaging report about Don Leach, former Administrative Officer at the Fayette jail, will be released as soon as Monday.

At issue is financial improprieties related to Leach's consulting business and misuse of city property.

Despite rumors to the contrary, the final audit report is not likely to include information about Director Ron Bishop and Edye Dabney.

Other than being indicative of very poor judgement by officials at the jail and the city, this mess appears to be unrelated to the criminal abuse of inmates at the Lexington jail.
