Franklin Circuit Judge Phillip Shepherd said about an hour ago that he hopes to issue a ruling in the redistricting case sometime tomorrow. [Frankfort Hot Mess] Kentucky doesn’t discriminate against the gays who want to adopt children, thanks to David Williams and bitter coward Bob Stivers. But Virginia sure does. [HuffPo] Small pharmacies across Kentucky [...]

Openness is urgent in the push for gambling. This stacking the deck business should cease. Great to see a mainstream paper call out both the Governor and Princess Damon Thayer for their unethical shenanigans. This wouldn’t be an issue if Kentucky had real ethics regulations.

The Indiana Secretary of State is in big trouble for doing nearly exactly what Ruth Ann Palumbo is doing: Jury selection began Monday for embattled Ind. Secretary of State Charlie White. White is charged with seven felonies including voter fraud and perjury. It all stems from allegations that he lied about where he lived in [...]

One of Richie Farmer’s former staffers was fined for misconduct. Trying to turn a non-merit job into a protected merit job doesn’t fly. The Executive Branch Ethics Commission apparently has more balls than the Legislative. [John Cheves] Wow, we’re still pretending that Frankfort isn’t bought and paid for by king coal, payday loan sharks and [...]
