Kentucky Educational Television And TARP Funds
April 26th, 2013 · 2 Comments
With federal investigators in the midst of a frenzied investigation of Richie Farmer’s wasted mountain of cash, we can’t help but think of Kentucky Educational Television. Specifically, we can’t help but wonder what the accounting looks like. And more specifically, how KET spent $225,000 of Corporation for Public Broadcast funds. It’s interesting that all/most of [...]

Rumor Mill: Edelen Conducting Another KRS Audit
April 9th, 2013 · No Comments
We hear through the pension system rumor mill that State Auditor Adam Edelen is set to conduct another audit of Kentucky Retirement Systems. The biggest question among everyone chattering about it: that it’ll be another whitewash (we don’t think it will be, as Adam knows it could end his career). What we wonder is whether [...]
