OAG 79-211 is cited in the decision to provide precedent and guidance on the interpretation of KRS 95.470 in relation to public employees' participation in elections. The decision references OAG 79-211 to draw parallels between the situation of a fireman in a third-class city becoming a candidate for city council and the current inquiry regarding a police officer's candidacy for a nonpartisan city commissioner role. The citation is used to support the conclusion that while a police officer can become a candidate, they cannot serve in the elected office while retaining their position in the police department, similar to the conclusion reached in OAG 79-211 regarding the fireman.
