Where have all the promises gone Governor Fletcher? You know... the ones to clean up waste, fraud and abuse? The ones to really clean up Frankfort? Maybe you've been working on the transportation cabinet? Shifting all those merit employees and giving their jobs to your supporters? Hmmm? Wasn't that part of the problem you were trying to stop? It seems to me Mr. Fletcher that you continue to carry on the old corruption and graft traditions you said the Democrats carried through Frankfort for the last 30 years.

Kentucky's attorney general, Greg Stumbo continues to investigate charges from various state employees that they were moved and shifted around by people in the Fletcher administration so they could hand out jobs to supporters. Fletcher's administration is cooperating. It just seems like Fletcher is two-faced in this whole affair. It's not like Stumbo went looking for this stuff. Employees came forward and the more we hear, more employees come forth with these allegations.

Last week, Doug Doerting, assistant personnel director for the transportation cabinet got this train rolling and it's picked up a lot of steam along the way. Stumbo also asked the personnel board to stay out of it because Fletcher appointed over half the committee. Criminal charges may even come out of this. Wow, that's the way to stick to those campaign promises of stopping waste, fraud and corruption. Your personal picks in the party have become targets of criminal investigations for giving out jobs they shouldn't have been able to influence.

Did I mention that all the people they hired were white men so the feds are looking into this mess too?

Yep, old Ernie shows his true colors and those of his party. What better way to get even for 30 years of Democratic control then get caught doing the nasty to state employees. Yep, that's the moral center of our government. I'm glad Ernie's a minister and a doctor to make sure the right things are done.

Here's the link to the latest story by Ryan Alessi and John Cheeves from the Herald-Leader. They have some good work.
