A grand jury investigating alleged political influence in state hiring and firing indicted the Kentucky Republican Party's treasurer and another GOP official Thursday.

Dave Disponett, the GOP treasurer who is also on the state Board of Elections, and J. Marshall Hughes, a party district chairman, were accused of plotting with administration officials and others to make personnel decisions on the basis of applicants' political affiliations.

Previously, 11 current or former members of GOP Gov. Ernie Fletcher's administration were indicted. The two men charged on Thursday are close supporters of Fletcher, and their names appeared frequently in e-mail exchanges about job candidates.

After the first nine administration employees were indicted, Fletcher issued blanket pardons intended to cover all those charged in the past or future. But whether the governor can pardon someone who has not yet been charged is a matter of dispute.
