This man is unbelieveably arrogant and seems like a big sleezeball. He once came into our business place and said to one of our employees, “You know who I am? I’m a big deal here.” He continued to try to force his way into our area of employees as if he worked there. It was just an example of how cocky this guy can be. He basically left our whole staff feeling like, “Ugh, what an a!shole.”

I can’t vote for somebody like that because you have to question his motives for wanting to be in office. He obviously has some issues with authority and wanting to be in power, recognized and a big-wig of Kentucky politics.

Have the disgruntled voters forgotten about the continuous back lash to Fletcher?

This is one thing Farmer will have to contend with if he is to make an honest run instead of a Cameo appearnence.

The gambling issue has become so decisive in Kentucky that a portion of the Democrats would vote for another candidate over Steve Beshear. This administration has been obsessed with extended gambling as if the money they project from gambling will not cover the next budget.

This Governor has already spent over $750 Million dollars of one time stimulus money.
And from a Democratic Governor where Steve Beshear was nowhere to be found during the campaign.

Keep says extended gambling with bring about $500 Million to the state treasurer.

Now, if the KEEP ORGANIZATON convinces Beshear to divide the money with the HORSIE SET then where is Kentucky generating enough money to even match the 750 Million, Three quarters of a billion, to plug the hole the stimulus money generated?

There is a lot more to getting Kentucky on the RIGHT TRACK and not on THE HORSE TRACK.

I wonder with this strong action by our Governor is he polarizing our citizens that have just heard enough about MONEY AND HORSES?

Without adequate, intelligent tax reform Kentucky will be in worst condition next budget than they are now.

Seems like a puppy chasing his tail. But what does he do , if he catches it.

GAMBLING will not pay the bills.

I’m still concentrating on being the best commissioner I can possibly be,\” he said in one article…well, you have a few years left actually do something and quit travelling around with our director John Roberts all the time doing nothing…and give some duties to Mr. Maffett and others…none of us are sure what any of you do if anything.

He’s not there, Thunder Storm. I know exactly where he’s supposed to be, and he’s never there. Never.

To John Johnson,
Your post shows how much you pay attention to things. Richie has lived in Frankfort for years.
