The Herald-Leader editorial board has handed down what can only be called an indictment of the Kentucky Legislature and the corruption surrounding the handling of the Mountain Water Board:
It’s good to have friends in high places, even if they won’t claim you in public.
No one’s owning up to authorship of an amendment that was added […]

The Keith Hall Scandal Still Lives On
July 1st, 2009 · No Comments
Who wants to bet Keith Hall and a couple other State House members are sweating buckets?
Last week we shared a story about Keith Hall being in ethical hot water over a scandalous piece of legislation helping two non-resident members of an eastern Kentucky water board.
Hall and House Leadership staff then issued a statement of non-denial […]

Oh Snap Monday! Keith Hall Outed by Stumbo
June 29th, 2009 · 4 Comments
Our praise goes out to House Speaker Greg Stumbo for doing what’s right and for telling the truth: Wait, wait! What’s that? Oh, yes, it’s GREG STUMBO admitting that Keith Hall was the guy who talked to him about the Mountain Water Board shenanigans. Interesting that the C-J didn’t mention that […]

State House Dems Release Big, Uh, Release
June 24th, 2009 · No Comments

Here it is:
House votes to balance budget, create jobs, and lower taxes on military pay
Frankfort – Classroom […]

Your Regular Frankfort Rumor Post
June 24th, 2009 · 2 Comments
We hear through the horsie grapevine that Alice Forgy Kerr will be targeted by organizations like the Kentucky Equine Education Project and the horse industry because of her no vote on the gambling bill. Their logic is that they only need four more yes votes.
Unfortunately, they’re not thinking politically and don’t recognize that ousting […]

Wow. C-J Ed Board Hits Another Home Run
June 24th, 2009 · No Comments
Really, wow. The Courier-Journal editorial board has published another legit editorial:
One of Gov. Steve Beshear’s problems in failing to deliver expanded gambling is that he’s been late offering specifics. That left the job to Speaker Greg Stumbo, whose proposal, while certainly better than nothing, was vulnerable to critics’ charges that it seemed gimmicky, uneven […]

Kentucky’s Hot With the Temp & Frankfort Bullshiz

Jack Conway says the Ohio County School Board violated open records laws with secret meetings. [Open Government]
The Courier-Journal editorial board stole Stan Lee’s ‘mosquitos in a nudist camp’ line! We hope Larry Wilder takes our advice and turns his “I was drunk in a trash can” situation into a money pit with tours […]

Gambling Bill Just Passed in the House
June 19th, 2009 · 12 Comments
House Bill 2 of the special legislative session in Frankfort - the gambling bill - just passed in the State House.
After a huffy start by Larry Clark, an impassioned floor speech by Greg Stumbo, a speech from David Osborne (who personally benefits from this legislation), a speech by Robin Webb about how terrible the […]

Jerry Bronger Sighting in Halls of Frankfort
June 18th, 2009 · No Comments
Remember in January when BOPTROP felon Jerry Bronger was outed for working on behalf of gambling legislation?
And when additional Bronger suspicions came about in late February when Greg Stumbo’s ownership in a race horse was disclosed?
Well… Mr. Bronger was spotted in the halls of Frankfort this very morning, moments before the House was called […]

Okay. More Thursday Session-y Goodness.
June 18th, 2009 · No Comments
When the House recessed earlier until the call of the chair, lots of interesting information starting coming down the pike. And by Majority Floor Leader Rocky Adkins’ resolution, the House will only reconvene for the purpose of receiving committee reports, amendments and for the posting of bills for passage tomorrow.
So it looks […]
