I don't care very much for Steve Beshear. Yes, Kentucky did have a surplus for the past two years and Gov Beshear touts on his political ads that Kentucky balanced their budget in a physically responsible way. Yuk..

Part of that balance and surplus was on the backs of state workers who were forced to take 5 - 7 (depending on your position) "furlough" days without pay. So basically, the state workers were forced to donate a least a weeks' pay to Gov Beshear's budget plan. I don't know whether or not the governor or his immediate staff had to take those days.

Now, the really bad news is that Beshear will probably be re-elected and he willbe the better of the two candidates....

I guess you can tell that I'm really tired of feeling like there are NO good choices in political races.

He did take a pay cut equivalent to state workers as did his staff. I think the only office holder in Frankfort who didn't cut back or cut their own pay as well as their staff was Sir Richard of Manchester.
