I have long believed that my state of Kentucky could benefit greatly from the "Fuels of the Future". Clean, renewable fuels grown by Kentuckians on Kentucky farmland and refined in many of the shut-down factories and plants that dot our landscape. I have always felt that Kentucky is in a unique position to lead our country in this new industry to provide cleaner, cheaper fuels for our country and the world.
You know how when we start talking about raising taxes on the rich, who have gotten a free pass the last few decades how some Conservative politician or idiot radio-type is always bantering about how the richest 2% pay more than half in taxes or some garbage like that. Well, as always with the greediest and least patriotic among us that talk is just that, garbage.
Before I begin let me say this. I'm not taking sides in the Democratic Primary, but I am taking sides with right and wrong.
After listening to Daniel Mongiardo many times and shooting video of him on many occasions, I've come to the conclusion the voice in the recordings, here and here are not Daniel Mongiardo's.
Let me make my case. If you disagree there's a place to at the end of this post to express your disagreement.
Ah, it appears as if Democrats in the Kentucky blogosphere have yet another member. None other than the Governor of our fair Commonwealth has joined our ranks. Gov. Steve Beshear has created his own blog to update progress on his agenda.
Gov. Beshear has called a special session later this month to deal with Kentucky's economic shortfall. It is being reported now that slots at Kentucky's racetrack will play a role in that session too. Beshear has added a measure to the agenda that allow Video Lottery Terminals at racetracks in Kentucky, which are feeling the economic pinch.
In these tough times everyone seems to be having trouble making ends meet. Many states are no exception. Unfortunately, our state of Kentucky is no exception. We are facing the largest budget shorfall in the Commonwealth's modern history.
Budget shortfalls are nothing new in Kentucky. This year with Kentucky's economy facing hard times like so many others that shortfall stands at a staggering $1 billion. While their seem to be plenty of ideas for alleviating this, thusfar no one idea has caught fire with lawmakers.
