First, the Republican leadership in Kentucky is putting together a legal defense fund. The big thing though is that the pubs are dismantling the state merit system. Larry Forgy has filed suit in federal court challenging the merit system, or at least the part that says no politics should be involved in the decision. The pubs are making every effort to dismantle our merit system.

Forgy said in an article by Jack Brammer in today's Herald-Leader.

"I don't want to be interpreted as saying there shouldn't be a merit system," Forgy said. "I'm saying that on the pitch side (for a job recommendation), there just isn't any standard. One letter could be declared to be a misdemeanor."

Forgy

The other issue is Gov. Arnie in CA. He's trying to dismantle the unions and take away the legislature's power to redistrict themselves. He's going to make it tougher for teachers to gain tenure. He's going to put the redistricting issue and the tenure issue on the ballot in the fall. He's burning a lot of bridges I must say. Attacking the teachers' and nurses' unions as well as an outright war with the legislature? I hope the kick him out of office like the did Davis.
