I balanced his “let’s let corporate interests gobble up the budget” approach. Then he came and had a day of prayer about 5 miles from where we walked the kids into the high school opening morning. While he jogged up a security detail and half our deputies, the parents and teachers walked their kids into school. He was here for a photo op while those law enforcement officers might have been needed or at least visible for comfort for the kids.

I was indifferent......until the cutting out of scale pay, and his reversal of the salary law...both of those affect me in my profession.  Then came the pension debacle.  I have friends who are teachers and first responders.  All of that sucks in my humble opinion.

I hear ya on the photo op.  Kinda like ol' Dirty Mitch.  He shows up in Harrodsburg at Corning's announcement of a collaboration with Apple to expand the plant to produce the Gorilla Glass for the Iphone....all smiles, like he actually did something; when it was the executives of both companies that worked together, without any government involvement, that got that done.  Meanwhile, in Eastern Kentucky, places like Martin County have gone without water for weeks at a time due to pollution and outdated water systems......Turtle is nowhere to be found.  Our "leaders" here are the pits, and have been for over a century.
