Worley Nears the Plate

The AP has a report today about Nancy Worley's trial, which is set to start to Monday.  Money quote from the article:

Packard said what Worley did goes against the candidate handbook she published as secretary of state.

That handbook says: "It is unlawful for any state officer or employee to solicit any type of political campaign contribution from employees under his or her supervision. Such supervisors are also not allowed to coerce any subordinate employees into working in any political campaign or cause."

Packard said Worley should have known better than to send the letters. "She was the chief election official," he said.

You never know what will happen when a case goes in front of a jury but this one sounds like it will easily go against Worley.
