David Williams Takes On The Governor Again

December 30th, 2009 · 1 Comment

The sleeping beast is waking up since the session is right around the corner. David Williams on Steve Beshear:

“He’s been a one-issue governor up until this juncture,” he said. “That’s all he’s had on his mind: establish one crisis after another that was unmanageable if you didn’t have gambling revenue.”

While I think Williams is spot-on about Beshear never, you know, doing anything ever… I think the point needs to be made that the man has made no real effort to actually push expanded gambling. It’s all fallen on the shoulders of the horse industry.  Holding a meeting here and there with track presidents and making a few appointments clearly isn’t enough.

Williams needs to stand up for comprehensive tax reform. Immediately.

Because we’re all gonna die of the poverty ASAP without the gambling, which will never be expanded under this governor, and tax reform is necessary.

Oh, and here’s this story from WHAS11:

    If the Gov and the Senate Pres are not agreeing on the simple numbers of current expenditure, who is in charge of the numbers?

    How convoluted the state finances must be to have a $500 mil difference between two apparently most informed people in the small state?
