I got a real kick yesterday when Bob Hill of the Courier Journal lamented the way hard working people had been deprived of jobs due to the hiring scandal with Governor Fletcher.
Now the reason I find this funny is that the Courier Journal has admitted that the same practices that Ernie Fletcher used WERE Used by past Democratic Administrations.
What does this mean? It means the poor folks who lost their jobs got them the same way their replacements did. That the Merit System has been abused for years and that the people who suffered were actually the ones who had profited in the past.
NOW that is not an excuse for Mr. Fletcher.
One minor question though... how with a government substructure set up by the Democratic Party do you run a Republican Administration? Do you really believe in this day and age that a Republican Governor can get his work done with Democrats in charge of the day to day work?
Neither side is right... both sides have done it. I do however find less wrong with Governor Fletcher who simply brought things back to the center with his actions. IF a Democratic Governor is elected again, will the Courier and MR. Hill be as observant of them? Will you or Mr. Stumbo be keeping track of what is going on? OR will the old Democratic Machine take over?
