How much did these people donate to the beshear campaign? Why do you not include that in your stories now? During the Fletcher administration almost every story about an appointment, whether it was to a board or to a non-merit job, included how much (if any) the person gave to Fletcher's campaign. It always struck me as an attempt to imply that the only way to get an appointment was to pay for it. We all know that is truly the case now with beshear. So, how much did these people pay for their appointments? beshear sure is taking care of his own and you are not calling him out for this. As for Lindy Casebier he's a big beshear supporter, was on his transistion team and was at the capital club fundraiser last week at the governor's mansion. Yes, he is a former Republican State Senator but that's about his only link to the Republican party.
