That hurt my eyes trying to read all of them. Lots of familiar names on that list, a good many of them merit employees. Them contributing to him is a pretty ignorant thing for them to do, given how much money Beshear cost them through the furloughs.
A few observations:
Geri Grigsby — does anyone remember who her father was? Probably the most corrupt school superintendent in Kentucky history.
Sarah McCray — aka Missy McCray.
Mike Hancock and Chuck Wolfe — couldn’t kiss Ernie Fletcher’s ass hard enough prior to November 2007. Especially Hancock.
Lindy Casebier — thought he was a Republican.
Chuck Gevedon — he got fired by this bunch. He should have demanded his contribution back. But that seems to be the mindset of many Democrats, keep on supporting the party no matter what they do to you.
There is one young lady’s name in that list whom I will not embarrass further by posting it again. I don’t really know her but I do know her family. Her family isn’t wealthy but they make a decent amount of money, as they are both longtime educators who are a step above classroom teachers. This poor gal had a crap peon job in the governor’s office, probably getting someone their coffee every morning. She gave $250. That probably represented a significant chunk of change for her. After Beshear already cost her 2 percent of her annual salary, why she would want to give him money voluntarily is beyond me.

There are two Chuck Gevedens. I misspelled it, I think.
Now you see why I made them so small! Too many damn names to list. And I’m sure I missed several. Cause the damn report was 1,193 pages long.
3 paula willett // Oct 19, 2011 at 9:16 pm
looks like to me beshear is trying to buy votes all that money that he got could have been used to help maybe the recent flood victums he just waste money gatewood is the only candidate that truly wants to help the people. kentuckians wake up do u want the same ole crap vote independent
4 paula willett // Oct 19, 2011 at 9:37 pm
Kentucky could make history and tell both dem and rep that we are fed up with both parties and want to try something else. Lets make history and vote Independent just one time! Now is the Time! vote “Gatewood Galbraith Governor” G G G “Governor Gatewood Galbraith” Bet the long shot Vote Gatewood He is and has always been in this race for the right reasons Gatewood has earned the position as Governor of this Commonwealth Let’s Make History Kentucky!
5 paula willett // Oct 20, 2011 at 9:52 am
just because they were made to donate thet still do NOT have to VOTE for him they can vote independent gatewood galbraith as governor or they can stay in their rut i think these finance reports should be printed and mailed to every household in Kentucky shame on both dem and rep time for change time for gatewood
6 jake // Oct 20, 2011 at 10:17 am
Gatewood Galbraith is a lost cause and it’s pointless to waste your time.
7 paula willett // Oct 20, 2011 at 12:09 pm
i disagree with you he is kentucky’s on hope for change he truly cares about kentucky and its people the other two only care about their party play the governors slot machine SBG or DWG or GGG I pray people see the light and pull the Independent levor and Kentucky will be a WINNER
8 jake // Oct 20, 2011 at 12:19 pm
Uh, you disagree with reality?
Because reality – the facts – say he’s a lost cause.
9 paula willett // Oct 21, 2011 at 8:07 am
sorry he is not a lost cause the dem and rep ARE the lost cause he is the only candidate that cares about ky and its people
10 jake // Oct 21, 2011 at 8:13 am
Really?
So he’s going to win this race on November 8 despite being under 10% in every single poll, ever?
Interesting.
11 paula willett // Oct 21, 2011 at 2:27 pm
yes i believe the impossible
12 paula willett // Oct 22, 2011 at 3:20 pm
polls are staged to allow the candidate that the group is polling to be ahead all rigged just like some elections if kentucky will take off their binders then they will see gatewood is the ONLY choice for the people I pray that kentucky wakes up
13 jake // Oct 22, 2011 at 3:39 pm
Pro-tip: Use punctuation if you want people to understand what you’re trying to say.
Rigged? Uh… put down the xanax and weed for a minute and get a grip. Gatewood polls at under 10%. That’s not due to “rigging.” His campaign is broke and he’s viewed as fringe by the general public, which is sad.
Your dream is just that.
14 paula willett // Oct 26, 2011 at 11:49 pm
Jake it is people just like yourself that is what is wrong with Ky and America !!! P.S. I dont do drugs! Apparently you must ! ! ! ! ! !
15 jake // Oct 27, 2011 at 6:35 am
I’m on drugs because I say Gatewood will lose, like always? Yeah, that sounds intelligent. Let’s go with that.
Wow.
16 paula willett // Oct 30, 2011 at 8:07 pm
It is because of PEOPLE like YOU that our Commonwealth and Nation ARE FUCKED UP!!!!!!!! People LIKE YOU ARE THE PROBLEM !!!!!!! Gatewood is the solution to Kentucky’s problems; however it is People like You, with their narrow mind mentality that keep Kentucky in the dark ages…….I am sorry for YOU!!!
17 jake // Oct 30, 2011 at 8:40 pm
Bitch, you’re fucking crazy if you think daring to point out that Gatewood is polling at FIVE PERCENT is what’s wrong with America.
Jesus H.
18 paula willett // Nov 2, 2011 at 8:14 pm
i didnt say that i said it is people like you that are the problem……i am not a bitch either…..so do not call me one again……..
19 jake // Nov 2, 2011 at 8:18 pm
Pro-tip: I own this site. I’ll say what I want.
I’ll also enjoy pointing out that you’re wasting federal tax dollars using a military computer to leave comments here.
20 paula willett // Nov 3, 2011 at 12:15 am
i am using MY phone nothing more nothing else you may ‘own’ the site. however that still does NOT give you the right to call me or anyone else a bitch
21 jake // Nov 3, 2011 at 6:30 am
Yep, it does.
And thanks for continuing to comment. Each time you do? It lines my pockets.
