One big happy family

Beshear is calling for help. From us. The citizens. This doesn't often happen in government, at least as far as I know. He actually encouraged people to contact him if they have an idea of how to get the state out of this financial shithole Ernie Fletcher has left us in. In some warm, fuzzy, idealistic way, that's pretty cool.

He didn't really give us much detail about how exactly this abysmal situation can be remedied, but he did promise not to raise taxes. And he didn't mention the cornerstone of his campaign last year...those casinos our neighbors to the west are so fond of. So if we don't have the working man's dollar, and we aren't raking in the results of gambling fetishes, what does the finiancial future (and present for that matter) of Kentucky look like? I guess that's why our governor is appealing to the masses...he doesn't have a clue either.
