Ban On Blogs Bombed By Beshear???
PageOneKentucky is reporting that Gov. Beshear is in the process of lifting the ban on access to political blogs from state government computers.
Gov. Fletcher was sued by former Kentucky political blogger Mark Nickolas after Fletcher ordered the Commonwealth Office of Technology to block all executive branch computers from gaining access to political blogs. Fletcher argued that state employees shouldn't be looking at web sites that weren't essential to their state job duties. Nickolas claims it's a first amendment issue. That lawsuit is still pending in federal court.
