Entire State Government Running for Senate in 2010

Trey Pollard reports that State Auditor Crit Luallen strongly resists being ruled out of the US Senate race in 2010, and that Attorney General Jack Conway might announce his candidacy before Christmas.

Most observers expect Governor-Lt. Daniel Mongiardo to run in a rematch of 2004.  Many also expect Secretary of State Trey Grayson to be interested if Senator Bunning is not serious about reelection.

Governor Beshear and Ag Commissioner Richie Farmer seem to be the only statewide-elected officals not interested.  Someone better ask.

Financial Troubles
"The Negative Outlook reflects plans to continue to deplete fund balances and virtually drain the budget reserve trust in the current biennium. Further, Fitch remains concerned about the weakened pension funding levels and the commonwealth's rising debt position as an additional $1.65 billion in debt has been authorized for the biennium."
