Richie Farmer kept state purchased Refrigerator in his home Office

The Courier Journal reports that Commissioner of Agriculture and Lt. Governor Candidate, Richie Farmer, had a mini-refrigerator purchased at Lowes on his state credit card and then had it delivered to his home office.  Apparently, Farmer was experiencing back trouble and needed to work out of his home office for an extended period of time. And of course what better way to combat an aching back than a mini-fridge? Forgot the fact that there was a normal sized refrigerator in the home kitchen.  Anyway, the mini-refrigerator stayed at the Farmer home until he moved out when his wife filed for divorce. From all reports, it has been at the Commissioner's office ever since.
Now here's the strange part...  Apparently, the Department of Agriculture purchased 2 mini-refrigerators for the Commissioner's office on the state credit card.  Yet, no one in the office can find refrigerator number 2.  When asked why, a representative for the office said that it's because the state fair has been going on.  We all know what kind of chaos the state fair can throw into the world. Since the Commissioner's office can't seem to locate the missing refrigerator, maybe we should ask Farmer's soon to be ex-wife?
