eh *shrugs*
its not his election year

No Mark, they play by different rules!! Don't you remember? That's how it's always been. There is no Grand Jury indictment for Paul Patton's nursing home ordeal or Steve Henry's Medicare problems. KDP and their cronies make and change the rules as they go. Mark, you should know this by now!

I think the problem is that people expected needed change and they haven't gotten it - yet. State government is still operating (?) in the Republican style and mold Fletcher instituted (top-down management, neglect and disdain for career employees who still have no voice or apparent value to this administration, particularly in a couple of large agencies), far, far too many Fletcher appointees are still calling the shots and actively working to sabotage the current administration and, frankly, Beshear has made a couple of really badly advised, nonproductive high-level appointments in agencies that get almost daily bad press - deservedly so, but unnecessarily so given the opportunity for visionary leader who care and understand about the issues at hand and could make the no-brainer changes needed. I hear a lot of discouragement, bitterness and disappointment among strong Beshear supporters who expected more and certainly expected better.
