Where’s The Openness & Transparency, Governor?
July 22nd, 2011 · No Comments
On Tuesday, we took a look at Governor Steve Beshear’s public schedule. Suspiciously blank. So, is there a good reason no one in the Governor’s Office wanted to tell the public (AKA Williams-Farmer campaign staff and the mainstream) that Beshear would be in Henderson on the 19th on the state plane? Because it was scheduled [...]

Looks like Steve Beshear snubbed a group of veterans when he went to Bowling Green. [BGDN] The last thing the failed Kentucky Democratic Party needs to be doing is giving anybody on earth advice. [CN|2] Looks like KC Crosbie’s bigoted, anti-Muslim pal, Josh Mandel, loves Al Gore. Funny how that works. [Politico] The ethanol industry [...]

Remember when a bunch of lobbyists dropped a ton of cash to push through some silly eye-surgery regulations that allows optometrists to perform some surgeries that are only performed by ophthalmologists?

The weird tirade begins at about the 1:20 mark in the below footage: Really, it’s just weird to attack a company that employs thousands of Kentuckians. Especially a business that not only helps keep Louisville afloat [...]
