Former Pineville mayor sentenced to 20 months for buying votes - Latest News - Kentucky.com:

Robert L. Madon, who was mayor of Pineville for 18 years, must serve 20 months in federal prison for buying votes, a judge ruled Thursday.

Madon, 75, also was ordered to pay a $4,000 fine and will be on supervised release for two years after he leaves prison.

In sentencing Madon, U.S. District Judge Gregory F. Van Tatenhove said some people don't regard vote-buying, which has a storied history in Kentucky, as a serious crime.
