Stan Lee: Kentucky House Minority Whip

Rep. Stan Lee is a fine lawmaker with a strong record of fiscal conservatism. He was one of just two lawmakers who voted against 2006's bloated, ridiculous state budget. The fact that he's been elected Minority Whip in the House proves that some Republicans are serious about making fiscal responsibility a big issue in 2007. The Kentucky Club for Growth applauds the decision.

But that's no reason to kick back and expect things to work out fine. Democrats have 60 seats in the House and Senate President David Williams has already said that the Kentucky Senate will support restoring Ernie Fletcher's vetoed projects last year.

Grab your wallets.
