Dems Make Promises in W. Ky. UPDATED

The gubernatorial forum in Paducah produced a few new promises and a punch at Steve Henry from Gatewood Galbraith, according to a story on WPSD-TV and a report from a western kentucky attorney who attended.

According to Ivan Potter, who attended the event at the Paducah Convention Center, Galbraith said of Henry "the democratic party can not afford to have a standardbearer in the fall who faces possible indictment." That's an obvious shot at Henry who is facing investigations of his campaign financing.

According to Potter, Henry promised to held build a new port on the Mississippi River, near Paducah, if he's elected, while Jody Richards promised to open a mini Governor's office somewhere in western kentucky if he's elected.

UPDATE: According to a release from Richards' campaign, he's planning to open an economic development office in the Purchase area, not a governor's office. One could argue that's almost the same thing though the economic development cabinet is semi-autonomous from the executive branch.

"Jody Richards promised to open a mini Governor's office somewhere in western kentucky if he's elected."

What a stupid idea. Jody Richards must be a desperate man. He oughta drop out and endorse the eventual winner, Jonathan Miller.

Jody should know said:

The Cabinet for ED already has a Western Kentucky office in Madisonville. I would think the Speaker of the House would, or should, know this.
