Herald-Leader Wins at the Internet Again

November 16th, 2009 · No Comments

Really. The Herald-Leader editorial board is one the Commonwealth of Kentucky should be greatly proud of. No, not just because they care about this great state and present balanced news. But because they print things like, well, this:

Guys gone wild at the Kentucky Association of Counties rack up more than $3 million in questionable expenditures in three years. But unlike the guys gone wild at the Blue Grass Airport (whose profligacy totaled a mere $530,000 for a similar time period), no one at KACo faces prosecution.

Lawyers in the offices of state Auditor Crit Luallen and Attorney General Jack Conway couldn’t find an offense worthy of a criminal charge (at least, not one on which the statute of limitations hadn’t run out) in all that $3 million of partying hearty at KACo.

Why not?

Yeah. Guys gone wild. HA!

And on a serious note: KACo is why Kentucky can’t have nice things. Maybe Frankfort will finally do something about the rampant waste, fraud and abuse?
