Governor Beshear’s weekly video address comes a day early this week in observance of Independence Day (Saturday, most offices closed on Friday as a result).
He spends a full 2:28 discussing debris removal. Quite the important issue during this time of economic crisis and such.

Bowling Green Daily News Hits Hard
July 1st, 2009 · 1 Comment

In the wake of embarrasing revelations concerning salaries and spending, the Kentucky League of Cities is now claiming it is not subject to the state’s open records/open meetings law.
What a farce.
-SNIP-
This abrupt decision appears to be a matter of sour grapes by the […]

June 29th, 2009 · 3 Comments
Dear Larry Hayes: Grow up. The Herald-Leader is hardly “casting aspersions” over the perception of impropriety involving the ring road debacle. There is CLEARLY a conflict of interest of the highest order re: you. Even Ethics thought so.
Just like Adam Edelen did (a few months back, selling his interest in a real estate […]
