Breaking Ky Gov, Ernie Fletcher (R) subpoenaed today
to testify before the grand jury investigating the breaking of merit hiring laws.

So far 21 felony indictments have come down, and numerous misdemeanor charges.

Ernie came to office with a pledge to clean up the mess in Frankfort, but immediately started hiring family members at twice the rate as former employees.

1. Got to love Kentucky politics.
I grew up in Kentucky, being corrupt is the norm. Things must finally be changing.

4. OH!!! I hope and pray
that David Williams is included in this mess!!!! He is such a slime.
Please tell me he is envolved. I grew up with the creep. He deserves an indictment for just breathing.

5. Not sure if he is, but this scandal could put the
repubs back into the minority.
