Priorities
Page One today opens with a statement about the priorities set by our legislators:
Is anyone else surprised that Frankfort is more worried about the road plan than than the welfare of Kentucky families? We "can't afford" (thanks, Governor) to keep kids in school until they're 18, can't afford to have life-saving knowledge for athletic programs and equipment in schools, can't afford to have nurses in schools. But we can afford eleventy billion dollars in the road plan, can afford giving money to NASCAR and can afford incentives for companies paying $9 per hour without benefits.
While we have reservations about the utility of outlawing dropouts, Jake hits the nail on the head about the General Assembly's misguided ideas of just what qualifies as economic development.
