In our ongoing story detailing the audit done by the Kentucky Office of Public Accounts in December 2015. Allegations were made that former Mayor Jerry Fannin had been compensated with a Chevy Tahoe by a local ambulance service for conducting an illegal burn of the former Ratliff Farm Supply store building in 2013. Nearly a year after the fire, a 10-thousand dollar lien on the vehicle was paid by an employee of Tran-Star Ambulance service, and the trucks title was transferred to Fannin. In the audit they discovered the tax bill for the burned building, was being mailed to Tran-Star’s owner. While there have been no charges filed, officials deemed that the transaction may have been a violation of a city ordinance that says a public official may not receive gifts, in any form, valued at more than 1-hundered dollars.
