Beshear Blogs
You've probably caught wind of the news elsewhere, but Governor Beshear now has a blog.
It's good of him to add this outlet, and we'll certainly enjoy making comments.
We think he might even be actually contributing himself. His first entry betrays a bit of the pompousness that we are used to hearing when he speaks:
It's a focused agenda, with the top priority being to balance a budget that will begin July 1 with revenue predictions that fall a billion dollars short. I think we can do it without raising taxes and without decimating our education, public safety and health care programs--while saving some federal stimulus dollars for future years. We'll see if the legislature agrees.
I've got a brilliant plan of saving everything without any pain or sacrifice. Let's see if that legislature is smart enough to agree with my brilliance.
Would any staffer worth having allow the governor to ridicule the legislature, however subtly, after calling an extraneous session that certainly caused some canceled family vacations? We don't think so...
