FRANKFORT - Over objections from the Fletcher administration, a judge yesterday gave Attorney General Greg Stumbo access to millions of state government e-mails in his investigation of the administration's hiring practices.

Meanwhile, a Franklin County grand jury has issued a subpoena for written and telephone records of state hirings from 23 people connected to Gov. Ernie Fletcher, including some of the top officials in his administration.

They include Fletcher's chief of staff Stan Cave, deputy chief of staff Dick Murgatroyd, Commerce Secretary Jim Host, acting Transportation Secretary Bill Nighbert, state Republican Party treasurer Dave Disponett, former UK sports announcer Ralph Hacker and Russell Springs developer Stephen Branscum, a member of the University of Kentucky Board of Trustees who is a partner with Fletcher in a Florida real estate deal. Fletcher and Lt. Gov. Steve Pence were not named in the subpoena.
