A Vision for Kentucky We Commend
In a recent speech to the Kentucky Chamber's economic summit, columnist John David Dyche called for a new vision in Kentucky politics. An article adapted from this speech contains a nice medley of Kentucky's political environment over the last century before getting to Dyche's recommendations.
At the core, Dyche references Indiana's Governor Daniels to create a new golden rule for Kentucky governance:
Simplify the complex. Indiana governor Mitch Daniels, who would make the best president this country could have come 2012, judges everything his administration does by whether it increases the disposable income of average Hoosiers. Kentucky needs a guiding rule just that concise, but featuring personal freedom as well as prosperity.
"Will it create growth and promote freedom?"
That's certainly a rule we can endorse.
