A former clerk at a driver’s licensing branch in Louisville blew the whistle on co-workers who were selling driver’s licenses to illegal immagrants at $200. Melissa Moorman blew the whistle and reported that this went on multiple times a day for at least two years. As a result, she was fired. Garry Adams, Moorman’s attorney questioned. Why the employee who reported the fraud was punished. He said “She should be the hero. There’s a failure to supervise these employees. There were obviously no checks and balances. The revelation stirred a quick response from state legislators including Sen. Aaron Reed of Shelbyville Reed said in a statement “ Allowing illegal aliens to obtain driver’s licenses, whether through negligence or willful disregard, creates vulnerabilities that no Kentuckian should accept.”
