Kentucky law requires that a formal complaint must be signed 'under penalty of perjury.' No such statement appears on Mongiardo's complaint. Under the law, Mongiardo must know he was making material misrepresentations and that's why he did not make the statement under penalty of perjury - out of fear for being prosecuted for his baseless accusations. Perjury in the first degree is a class D felony, punishable by 1-5 years in prison. Perjury in the second degree is a class A misdemeanor, punishable by 90 days - 1 year in prison. [KRS 523.020, KRS 523.030, KRS 532.020] But this shouldn't be surprising. For Dan Mongiardo to lecture anyone on ethics considering his own crumbling integrity is the height of hypocrisy and disrespectful to the people of Kentucky. Dan Mongiardo's word is no good and he is not entitled to his own set of delusional facts. The fact remains that Attorney General Jack Conway has fought to save consumers over $100 million in potential rate hikes. Two respected former Kentucky Attorneys General - Ben Chandler and Greg Stumbo - have called Mongiardo's allegations against General Conway 'baseless attacks.' Mongiardo should worry about his own crumbling integrity and flagging campaign instead of launching political stunts and false accusations."
"Dan Mongiardo's political stunt once again proves he will do or say anything to win an election and that Kentuckians cannot trust his word. Additionally, Mongiardo's failure to make his statement under oath, as required by law, speaks to the truthfulness of his allegations and to the integrity of his campaign.
